Chapter 1. General Information

A. CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF INDIANA

(1) Introduction

The Constitution of the State of Indiana was approved in convention at Indianapolis on February 10, 1851, andwas adopted by the electorate, effective November 1, 1851. It superseded the 1816 Constitution. TheConstitution sets forth the basic structure of Indiana government and the rights, powers, privileges, andimmunities granted the citizens of Indiana. Constitutional provisions supersede all other state law. As of July1, 2012, the most recent version of the Constitution can be found in Volume 1 of the latest Indiana CodeSupplement. If Volume 1 of the Indiana Code is republished, the latest version of the Constitution will bepublished in Volume 1 of the Indiana Code until another Indiana Code Supplement is published. TheConstitution can also be found online and with the DVD version of the Indiana Code.

(2) Arrangement

The Constitution of the State of Indiana consists of a Preamble and 16 major groupings called Articles. EachArticle is composed of smaller individual units called Sections. Material that is temporary, implementary, ortransitional in nature is included in a Schedule that immediately follows the particular Section of the Constitutionto which it is related.

(3) Citations

To cite a particular Section of the Constitution of the State of Indiana, refer first to the Article and then to theSection.

Example: Article 1, Section 22 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana

B. INDIANA CODE

(1) Introduction

The official Indiana Code (IC) was enacted by the General Assembly and signed into law January 21, 1976. TheIndiana Code contains all general and permanent statutory law. All statutes are considered to be of a general andpermanent nature unless they:

(a) are effective for a period of less than two years;

(b) provide for transitional, implementary matters in an otherwise permanent statute; or

(c) apply to special cases.

All laws of a permanent and general nature are drafted as amendments to the Indiana Code. Statutory laws notincluded in the Indiana Code, such as transitory and temporary laws, are known as Noncode provisions. (SeeNONCODE PROVISIONS GENERALLY, page 90).

The Indiana Code is published in bound form, in DVD format, and online. The Noncode Acts are published in

Page 1

DVD form and online.

(2) Arrangement

The Indiana Code consists of major groupings of law called titles that are numbered 1 through 36. Each titlecontains one or more articles, each article contains one or more chapters, and each chapter contains one or moresections.

(3) Citations

The Indiana Code numbering scheme involves use of numbers separated by hyphens. A four-part numericalcitation is used for statute sections. The contents of a chapter are indicated through use of a three-part citationand of an entire article by use of a two-part citation. Reference to a title is by a one-number citation.

Example: IC 4-3-2-1 refers to Title 4, Article 3, Chapter 2, Section 1.IC 4-3-2 refers to Title 4, Article 3, Chapter 2.IC 4-3 refers to Title 4, Article 3.IC 4 refers to Title 4.

The letters "IC" should always precede a citation to an Indiana Code section, chapter, article, or title, exceptwhen using certain types of internal references (See Internal References, page 57).

C. SESSION LAWS (ACTS)

(1) Introduction

The legal provisions passed during each legislative session of the General Assembly are referred to as "sessionlaws" or "acts". The Enrolled Acts and Enrolled Joint Resolutions that are enacted are published online, in DVDformat, and in bound volumes by the Office of Code Revision. The publication is referred to as "Acts [year] ofthe General Assembly". Each publication of the Acts includes a table that identifies affected Indiana Codecitations and tables that convert bill numbers to the corresponding public law numbers and public law numbersto the corresponding bill numbers, a Statement of Fund Net Assets of the Auditor of State, and a comprehensivecitation report.

For examples of Enrolled Acts, see the following Exhibits:EXHIBIT 48, Enrolled Act of the House, page 234.EXHIBIT 49, Enrolled Act of the Senate, Passed with Concurrence, page 237.EXHIBIT 50, Enrolled Act of the Senate, Passed with a Conference Committee Report, page 240.EXHIBIT 72, Enrolled Joint Resolution of the House, page 287.

(2) Arrangement

The acts of each session are arranged into two categories: Enrolled Acts and Joint Resolutions. The TechnicalCorrections bill and the recodification bill, if any, are usually published as Public Laws 1 and 2. All otherEnrolled Acts are arranged, as far as possible, in the order in which the acts were signed by the Governor or wentinto effect without the Governor's signature.

(3) Citations

Page 2

To refer to a Noncode provision or to identify a provision published in the Acts, use one of the following forms:

(a) For acts enacted before the 1971 Indiana Code, the proper citation form is as follows:

Example: Acts 1953, c.20, s.2

(b) For acts enacted beginning with the enactment of the 1971 Indiana Code, the proper citation form isas follows:

Example: P.L.74-1983, SECTION 10

To indicate a special session of the Indiana General Assembly, use the designation "(ss)" after the year.

Example: Acts 1964(ss), P.L.1, SECTION 1

Example: P.L.3-1982(ss), SECTION 5

Example: P.L.2-2001(ss), SECTION 17

D. INDIANA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE

(1) Introduction

The Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), which is published under the authority of the Indiana LegislativeCouncil, is a compilation of the text of all Indiana administrative rules. The first official edition of the IndianaAdministrative Code was published in 1979. The last paper edition, the 2004 edition, consists of a base set of11 volumes and is updated weekly when necessary. The Indiana Administrative Code is available on the -IR-Database web site (http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/iac_title).

(2) Arrangement

The rules are organized according to adopting agency and classified under a numbering scheme with a four-partnumerical citation. Each agency that has adopted rules has been assigned a title number with all rules of thatagency classified under that title. Agencies with related subject matter are grouped together. Each title containsone or more articles, each article contains one or more rules, and each rule contains one or more sections.

(3) Citations

Use a citation form containing the designation "IAC" following the title number to indicate that the IndianaAdministrative Code is cited. Article, rule, and section numbers are separated by hyphens.

Example: 595 IAC 1-1-1 refers to Title 595, Article 1, Rule 1, Section 1

E. INDIANA REGISTER

(1) Introduction

Page 3

The Indiana Register is a periodical publication of the full text of proposed rules, final rules, and otherdocuments such as executive orders and Attorney General's opinions. The Indiana Register was publishedmonthly from July 1, 1978, to July 1, 2006, and is now published weekly on the Internet. Final rulespublished in the Indiana Register are later codified in the Indiana Administrative Code. In a sense, theIndiana Register can be considered an "advance sheet" to the Indiana Administrative Code. However,executive orders and Attorney General's opinions that are found in the Indiana Register are notsubsequently published in the Indiana Administrative Code.

(2) Citations

Since July 2, 2006, each document that has been posted on the Indiana Register web site(http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/irtoc.htm) has been assigned a unique document information numberor "DIN". Each individual document posted on the Indiana Register web site is internally paginated andstored in a .PDF format. A typical DIN describes a final rule (FR) posted to the -IR- Database web siteon a particular date.

Example: 20130726-IR-317130265FR

The following is a breakdown of the DIN components in the example above:

2013 Year of posting on the Internet.

07 Month of posting on the Internet.

26 Day of posting on the Internet.

-IR- Indiana Register Database.

317 Entity identifier—either the IAC Title number or a three letter designation.(A list of designations is available in the User's Guide to the -IR- Database.)

130265 A six digit document number assigned by the Legislative Services Agency.The first two digits reference the year the number was assigned. The nextfour digits are assigned sequentially as documents are submitted to theLegislative Services Agency for publishing throughout that calendar year. NOTE: Leading zeros are included, when necessary, in the sequentialnumber when referring to the document number.

FR Type of document being referenced. "FR" identifies a document as a "FinalRule". Another common type is "ER" or "Emergency Rule". (A list ofsuffixes for the various types of documents is available in the User's Guideto the -IR- Database.)

To cite to a document published in the Indiana Register on or before July 1, 2006, use a citation formcontaining the designation "IR" following the volume number of the publication to indicate that the IndianaRegister is cited. The page number of the publication follows the IR designation.

Example: 22 IR 1000

The example above refers to Volume 22, Page 1000.

F. TYPES OF LEGISLATIVE MEASURES

(1) Introduction

The General Assembly may take action on bills, Joint Resolutions, Concurrent Resolutions, and SimpleResolutions. Any of these measures may be introduced in either chamber, except that bills to raise revenuemay be introduced only in the House of Representatives. (See Article 4, Section 17 of the Constitution ofthe State of Indiana.)

(2) Bill

A bill must be used to enact a law. (See Article 4, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana.) Tobe enacted, a bill must pass both chambers and must be presented to the Governor for approval. (See Article5, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana.)

The creation of an introduced bill usually involves drafting a series of documents. There are two forms inwhich legislative language can be drafted. The first form is a "Preliminary Draft" or "PD". The PD is usedto show how statutory language would look and to finalize legislative concepts. It is often used as a tool fordisseminating potential legal provisions and sometimes contains incomplete ideas that still need to bedeveloped. The second form is called an "LS". An LS contains language and ideas that are more finalized,although it is not uncommon for several LSs (and several PDs) to be created in honing a particular piece ofpotential legislation. When a legislator is ready to file a bill, it is an LS form of the bill that is filed. Uponfiling, the LS is given an official bill number.

For an example of the bill adoption process, see EXHIBIT 1, Bill Adoption Process, PD to Enrolled Act,page 145.

(3) Joint Resolutions

A Joint Resolution, which must be adopted by both houses to be effective, is used to do any of the following:

(a) Propose an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Indiana under Article 16.

(b) Ratify a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

(c) Apply to the Congress of the United States to call a constitutional convention to consider anamendment to the Constitution of the United States under Article V of the Constitution of theUnited States.

(d) Remove state officers under Article 6, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana.

Joint Resolutions are not required to be presented to the Governor. (See Article 16, Section 1 of theConstitution of the State of Indiana.) However, in most cases, Joint Resolutions are presented to theGovernor and are signed. A Joint Resolution may be amended in committee and on second reading.

Page 5

However, the second presentation of a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Indiana thatis substantively different from the first presentation of the same proposed amendment might result in the proposed amendment not becoming effective because Article 16, Section 1(b) provides:

"(b) If, in the General Assembly so next chosen, the proposed amendment is agreed to by amajority of all the members elected to each House, then the General Assembly shall submit theamendment to the electors of the State at the next general election."[Emphasis added.]

(4) Concurrent Resolutions

A Concurrent Resolution, which must be adopted by both chambers to be effective, does not have the effectof law and is used to express the sentiment of the General Assembly. Refer to the House and Senate Rulesfor each chamber's policy regarding amendment of Concurrent Resolutions. Concurrent Resolutions are notrequired to be presented to the Governor.

(5) Simple Resolutions

A Simple Resolution, which needs to be adopted by only one chamber to be effective, does not have theeffect of law and is used to express the sentiment of that chamber. A Simple Resolution may also be usedto deal with the internal affairs of the chamber in which it is introduced. Refer to the House and SenateRules for each chamber's policy regarding amendment of Simple Resolutions. Simple Resolutions are notpresented to the Governor.

Chapter 2. Drafting Rules

A. INTRODUCTION

The essentials of good bill drafting are accuracy, brevity, clarity, and simplicity. The purpose and effect of alegislative measure should be evident from its language. Choose words that are plain and commonly understood(Article 4, Section 20 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana).

C. DRAFTING RULES

(1) Sentence Structure

Use short, simple sentences. Avoid excessive use of dependent clauses, parallel clauses, compoundsentences, and other complex sentence structures. Avoid use of run-on sentences. Do not use sentencefragments.

(2) Subject of Sentence

Unless it is clear from the context, use as the subject of each sentence the person or entity to whom apower, right, or privilege is granted or upon whom a duty, obligation, or prohibition is imposed.

(3) Tense

Use the present tense. However, when it is necessary to express a time relationship (such as when thereis a condition precedent to the operation of the law), state the facts that are concurrent with the operationof the law as present facts and the facts precedent to its operation as past facts.

Example: If a person has finished the training, the person may . . .

When the future tense is appropriate, use "will".

Page 9

Example: If the director determines that the computer system will cause problems, thedirector shall . . .

(4) Mood

Use the indicative mood.

Don't Say: Say:The report shall include . . . The report must include . . .A person shall be entitled . . . A person is entitled . . .

(5) Voice

Use the active voice whenever possible.In rare instances the passive voice may be used, such as when the subject of the sentence is the focus ofsome action to be implicitly taken by another person who is not mentioned in the sentence.

Example: A person who commits a Class D felony shall be imprisoned.

(6) Number: Singular vs. Plural

Use the singular instead of the plural, because singular words apply to several persons or things as wellas to one person or thing.

Use the plural if the persons or things can be described only in the plural.

Example: Five (5) of the members constitute a quorum.

(7) Organization

In general, draft general provisions before specific provisions, and organize provisions logically. Usechronological order in provisions that describe procedure.

(8) Gender

To the extent possible, avoid words importing gender.

(9) Consistency

Be consistent in the use of language throughout the legislative measure and with existing law governingthe topic in the legislative measure. Do not use the same word or phrase to convey different meanings. Donot use different language to convey the same meaning.

Be consistent in the arrangement of comparable provisions. Arrange sections containing similar materialin the same way.

(10) Brevity

Omit unnecessary words.

Page 10

If a word has the same meaning as a phrase, use the word.

Use the shortest sentence that conveys the intended meaning.

(11) Preferred Spelling

See EXHIBIT 77, Preferred Spelling List, page 299.

(12) Commanding, Authorizing, Forbidding, and Negating

To create a right, say "is entitled to".

For example, "A member is entitled to reimbursement for expenses" means that the member has a rightto receive the reimbursement.

To create discretionary authority, say "may".

For example, "A member may seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the member, at themember's discretion, is permitted or allowed to seek recovery of the reimbursement.

To create a duty, say "shall".

For example, "A member shall seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the member iscommanded or directed to seek recovery of the reimbursement.

To create a condition precedent, say "must".

For example, "To receive reimbursement, a member must submit a form for expenses" means that themember is obliged or required to submit the form to recover the reimbursement.

To negate a right, say "is not entitled to".

For example, "A member is not entitled to seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the memberhas no right to seek recovery of the reimbursement.

To negate discretionary authority, say "may not".

For example, "A member may not seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the member is notpermitted or allowed to seek recovery of the reimbursement.

To negate a duty or a condition precedent, say "is not required to".

For example, "A member is not required to seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the membermay, but does not have to, seek recovery of the reimbursement.

To create a duty not to act, say "shall not".

For example, "A member shall not seek reimbursement for expenses" means that the member iscommanded or directed to not seek recovery of the reimbursement.

Page 11

[The guidelines above are taken from: Dickerson, F.R., Legal Drafting, West Publishing Company (1981),p.182.]

Avoid false imperatives.

A false imperative attempts to create a duty but does not specify to whom the duty belongs or theconsequences of the failure. Consider the following by Jery Payne of The Legislative Lawyer:

The solution to avoiding the false imperative is to substitute a short definition in place of theimperative to determine if it makes sense. If the drafter would make the following mentalsubstitutions, then the language will remain logical:

shall: has a duty toshall not: has a duty not to

If the drafter is considering using "shall" or "shall not," the drafter need merely substitute thedefinition and consider whether the definition makes sense. For example, "The commission shallkeep a cash reserve," reads "The commission has a duty to keep a cash reserve." If the substitutephrase makes sense, then the use is proper. Here is another example, "Service shall be made onthe parties," reads "Service has a duty to be made on the parties." This is nonsense. Service doesnot have volition. Service cannot even exist until it is made. Therefore, it is a command thatservice bring itself into existence. This provision needs to be rewritten.[Payne, Jery. "The False Imperative." The Legislative Lawyer. National Conference of StateLegislatures, 18 Dec. 2010. Web. 26 June 2012. <www.ncsl.org>]

Avoid using hortatory qualifiers.

Hortatory qualifiers include terms such as "will", "should", "ought", and "want". Hortatory languageurges a particular course of action or conduct. Rather than conveying information, it generallypresents an argument for or against something and is better suited for use in documents and speechesintended to inspire or incite the audience. Note, however, that the use of "will" is acceptable when thefuture tense is appropriate. (See Tense, page 9.)

(13) And; Or; And/Or

"And" usually stands for the conjunctive, connective, or additive, and "or" for the disjunctive or alternative.An ambiguity occurs where it is not clear whether the inclusive "or" (A or B, or both) or the exclusive "or"(A or B, but not both) is intended. It is not always clear whether the several "and" (A and B, jointly orseverally) or the joint "and" (A and B, jointly but not severally) is intended. To avoid this ambiguity, saythe following as appropriate:

(a) "A or B" where the exclusive is intended.

(b) "A or B, or both" where the inclusive is intended or where jointly or severally is intended.

(c) "A and B" where the conjunctive, connective, or additive is intended.

Never use the term "and/or".

(14) Assure; Ensure; Insure

Page 12

"Assure", "ensure", and "insure" are often equally correct. "Ensure" is preferred unless content—generallyinsurance law—clearly indicates that "insure" is appropriate. Avoid using "assure".

Example: The commission shall prescribe a format to ensure the standardization andreadability of the data provided.

Example: The department shall insure the timber growers against all fraudulent acts of theregistrant in purchasing and cutting the timber.

(15) A; An; Any

Use the article "a" before words that begin with a consonant, words that begin with a consonant sound (like"y" or "w"), and words that begin with a sounded "h".

Examples: a tax; a driver's license; a uniform; a one time offer; a historical district; ahemisphere.

Use the article "an" before words that begin with a vowel and before words that begin with a silent "h".

Examples: an artist; an occupation; an honorary member; an hour

"Any" is an indefinite pronoun, which means that it does not refer to specific persons or things. It can besingular or plural depending on the noun to which it refers.

Examples: If any member applies.... ; If any members apply....

Other indefinite pronouns include the following: another, anyone, anything, each, either, everything,neither, no one, nothing, one.

"Any" can modify both countable and uncountable nouns. A countable noun is one that can be expressedin plural form, usually with an "s".

Examples: cat—cats; season—seasons; student—students

An uncountable noun is one that usually cannot be expressed in a plural form.

Example: milk, water, air, money, food

("He had a lot of moneys" doesn't usually make sense.)

(16) Such; Said

Use the articles "a", "an", and "the" instead of the words "such" or "said". It is appropriate to use "such"to express an example.

Example: The commission may take steps to provide compliance, such as ordering theapplicant to submit a verified statement.

Do not use "any", "each", "every", "all", or "some" if "a", "an", or "the" can be used with the same result.

Page 13

(17) Parallel Articles

Using the articles "a" and "an" before each item in a list is appropriate unless the use results in ambiguousor unclear language or an unintended meaning. In the alternative, tabulation can provide clarity. (SeeTabulation, page 30.)

Don't Say: After the application's approval, an academic or a professor who studies ecologymay receive funding.

Say: After the application's approval:(1) an academic; or(2) a professor who studies ecology;

may receive funding.

OR

After the application's approval:(1) an academic; or(2) a professor;

who studies ecology may receive funding.

OR

The following may receive funding after the application's approval:(1) An academic.(2) A professor who studies ecology.

OR

The following may receive funding after the application's approval:(1) An academic who studies ecology.(2) A professor who studies ecology.

(18) Which; That

Use "which" to begin a nonrestrictive clause. A nonrestrictive clause is a clause that describes but doesnot identify or restrict the meaning of the noun that it modifies. A nonrestrictive clause is set off bycommas.

Example: The application, which need not be verified, must be signed by the applicant.

Use "that" to introduce a restrictive clause. A restrictive clause is a clause that identifies or restricts themeaning of the noun that it modifies. A restrictive clause is not set off by commas.

Example: An application to renew a license that has been revoked must be signed by theapplicant.

Another way to think about restrictive clauses is that a clause beginning with "that" singles out, or providesessential information about, the object being described.

Example: The book that is on the table is a good one.

Page 14

In the example above, the book on the table, as opposed to some other book, is specified as beinga good book.

"That" can be used when referring to things or to a group of people.

Example: A band that tours frequently will please its fans.

(19) By; Under

Use "by" when referencing a cite that specifically establishes or creates an entity.

For the example below, consider the language of IC 20-19-3-1, which reads as follows: "Sec. 1. Thedepartment of education is established."

Example: As used in this chapter, "department" refers to the department of educationestablished by IC 20-19-3-1.

Use "under" when referencing a cite that authorizes the establishment or creation of an entity.

Example: As used in this chapter, "committee" refers to a committee established underIC 2-5-21-10.

For the example above, IC 2-5-21-10 reads as follows: Sec. 10. (a) Subject to subsection (c), the chairman of the council, with the

advice of the vice chairman of the council, shall appoint a committee to evaluateeach of the following...

(20) Person Who; Individual Who; Person That

If the term "person" is used in a criminal law provision, use "person who".

Example: A person who knowingly files a report that is fraudulent commits a Class Dfelony.

In all other provisions:

If the person referred to is an individual, use "individual who".

Example: "Contestor" means an individual who initiates a proceeding to contest the resultof an election.

If the person referred to is an entity other than an individual, use "person that".

Example: "Organization" means a person that is not an individual. The term includes abusiness firm or corporation, a limited liability company, a labor organization,a religious organization, a political club, a trustee, a receiver, or any other typeof association or group of individuals.

If the person referred to is either an individual or an entity other than a person, use "person that".

Page 15

Example: "Permit holder" means a person that has received a permit from the commission. "Person" includes an individual, a corporation, a trust, a partnership, a limitedliability company, a limited partnership, an association, a person, or other entity.

(21) Indiana; State

In general, do not use "the state of Indiana" unless referring to the state as a legal entity, which commonlyoccurs in the context of bringing or defending a legal action. In this case, capitalize as shown in theexample below.

Example: The action must be brought in the name of the State of Indiana.

Use "Indiana" when referring to the geographic entity.

Example: resident of Indiana

Use "state" when referring to the political entity.

Example: departments of state government; real property owned by the state

Do not use "Indiana" when establishing a new department, agency, board, or commission unless doing sois necessary for clarification.

(22) Words and Expressions—Preferred Use

For a list of specific words and phrases, see EXHIBIT 78, Preferred Words List, page 302.

"People First" Language

"People First" language is a style of writing that names the person first and the person's disability orcondition second when discussing people with disabilities. The aim is to indicate that the disabilityis a secondary attribute rather than a characteristic of the person's identity. Revisions have been madethroughout the Indiana Code to replace outdated language with this style.

Examples: individual with a disability; individual who is blind or visually impaired;individual who is hearing impaired; individual who is deaf, hard of hearing, orspeech impaired; individual who is mentally impaired

Don't Say: "disabled person"; "blind individual"; "handicapped child"

A few exceptions to the People First rule are as follows:

1. Words or phrases used in interstate compacts, uniform acts, and model acts.

2. Wording or definitions based in federal law.

3. Words or phrases included in the names of agencies, facilities, or programs.

4. The terms "disabled American veteran" and "disabled Hoosier veteran license plate".

Page 16

(23) Limitations, Exceptions, and Conditions

Limitations or exceptions to the coverage of a legislative measure or conditions placed on its applicationshould be described in the first part of the legislative measure—i.e., at the beginning of the title, article,chapter, section, or Noncode provision. (See Bills, page 38.) If the limitations, conditions, or exceptionsare numerous, notice of their existence should be given in the first part of the legislative measure, and theyshould be stated separately later in the legislative measure.

If a provision is limited in its application or is subject to an exception or condition, it generally promotesclarity to begin the provision with a statement of the limitation, exception, or condition or with a noticeof its existence. Avoid using "notwithstanding" to express a limitation of a general provision of the samelegislative measure.

Don't Say: (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), ...

OR

(b) Except as provided in subsection (a), ...

Say: Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), ...

"If", "when", and "whenever" are expressions of limitation or a condition. If the condition is limited by asingle occurrence that might never occur, use "if" to introduce the condition.

Example: If the mayor resigns from office, the deputy mayor assumes the duties of theoffice.

If the condition will occur more than once, introduce the condition with "whenever".

Example: Whenever the operator answers a call, the operator shall . . .

If the condition is certain to occur, use "when".

Example: When the statute takes effect, the governor shall . . .

Do not use "where", "provided that", "provided; however, that", or similar proviso language. Use "but"instead of "except that".

Don't say: The term "person" means an individual, trust, or estate, where no corporationshall be considered to be a person.

Say: The term "person" means an individual, trust, or estate. The term does notinclude a corporation.

Don't say: An individual may obtain a license provided that the individual is at leasteighteen (18) years of age.

Say: If an individual is at least eighteen (18) years of age, the individual may obtaina license.

Page 17

Don't say: The license expires one (1) year after the date of issuance; provided, however,that an initial license is valid for six (6) months after the date of issuance.

Say: The license expires one (1) year after the date of issuance. However, an initiallicense is valid for six (6) months after the date of issuance.

(r) Every letter in an Indiana Code title or article heading.

Example: ARTICLE 4. AIR AND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL

Capitalization Concerning the Armed Services

Follow these guidelines in determining whether to capitalize the names of the armed forces:

(a) Do not change the style in existing Indiana Code or Noncode text.

(b) In existing Indiana Code or Noncode text and in new text, follow the style used in the chapterbeing amended.

(c) If there is no style already existing in the Indiana Code or Noncode text being amended, add thewords "United States" and capitalize the name of the armed service. Exception: Capitalize"Merchant Marine" but do not insert "United States" in front of it.

Example: "Armed forces" refers to the following:

Page 20

United States Army.United States Air Force.United States Navy.Merchant Marine.Indiana National Guard.Indiana Air National Guard.

(d) Capitalize the name of the armed force when "United States" appears before the colon in a listingtabulation.

Example: "Member" means a member of one (1) of the following branches of the armedforces of the United States:

(1) The Army.(2) The Navy.

(25) Commas

Words, phrases, or clauses in a series are separated by commas, including a comma before the conjunctionconnecting the last two members of a series.

Example: The report shall be filed with the auditor of state, the treasurer of state, and thedepartment of local government finance. The report must contain all debits,credits, and profits of the corporation.

If a sentence consists of two independent clauses, each with subject and predicate, use a comma beforethe conjunction.

Example: The commission shall submit a report, and the governor shall review the report.

If a sentence has a compound predicate, a comma is unnecessary unless required for clarity.

Example: The treasurer shall file the report before June 30 and shall submit copies of thereport to each member of the commission.

Commas are used to set off a nonrestrictive clause.

Example: The director of the foundation, who may not have other employment, is entitledto receive a salary.

Example: The driver involved in that accident, who has been convicted of drunken driving,must pay a fine and perform community service.

A comma is not used to set off a restrictive clause.

Example: The registrar shall assign a student identification number to each student whoenters Purdue University.

Enclose a parenthetical phrase or clause with two commas.

Example: The treasurer shall, before June 30 of each fiscal year, submit copies of the

Page 21

report to each member of the commission.

Adverbial phrases, introductory participial phrases, and long introductory, subordinate clauses should beset off by commas.

Examples: Until further notice is given, the restrictions remain in effect. After thecommission completes the investigation, the commission shall submit a reportto the governor.

(26) Parentheses

Avoid parentheses except when they are more reliable than commas in setting off a phrase where there ispossible uncertainty as to how the ideas that follow the phrase are linked to the ideas that precede it.

Example: When it is necessary to order individuals to active duty (other than for training)without their consent, ... (See Dickerson, F. Reed, Legislative Drafting, WestPublishing Company (1981), p.71.)

Parentheses may also be used if necessary to make clear a reference to another statutory provision byindicating the nature of the referenced provision or to include the Indiana Code cite relevant to theprovision.

Example: As used in this chapter, "sex or violent offender" means a person convicted ofany of the following offenses:

(1) Kidnapping (IC 35-42-3-2), if the victim is less than eighteen (18) yearsof age.(2)....

Example: This section does not apply to an action taken by the state veterinarian or thestate veterinarian's agent under IC 15-17-10 (dangerous and diseased animals).

Parentheses should be used to set off an internal reference to the citation where a term is defined.

Example: "System" means:(1) a computer (as defined in IC 36-8-15-4);(2) a communications system (as defined in IC 36-8-15-3(1)); or(3) mobile or remote equipment that is coordinated by or linked with acomputer or communications system.

Parentheses should also be used to set forth number or dollar amounts.

Example: five thousand four hundred dollars ($5,400)

Example: twenty-one (21) years of age

(27) Brackets

Do not use brackets as punctuation. Brackets are reserved for designating SECTION effective dates.

Example: SECTION 1. IC 5-14-1.5-5 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 5. (a) Public notice...

Page 22

Brackets are also used, most often in a Preliminary Draft (PD), to identify incomplete ideas being draftedand to highlight any questions yet to be addressed.

Example: The state board shall monitor changes that occur after the fall count ofADM in the number of students enrolled in programs for children withdisabilities. The state board shall make an adjusted count of studentsenrolled in programs for children with disabilities. [WHAT CRITERIASHOULD BE USED TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT?]

(28) Apostrophes

The possessive case of a singular or plural noun not ending in "s" is formed by adding an apostrophe and"s".

Examples: attorney's fees; children's hospital; man's; women's; worker's compensation

Although the possessive case of a singular noun ending in "s" or with an "s" sound is formed by addingan apostrophe and "s", this situation should be avoided by redrafting the language.

Example: tires of the bus (NOT bus's tires)

The possessive case of a plural noun ending in "s" or with an "s" sound is formed by adding an apostrophe.

Example: public employees' retirement fund

An apostrophe should not be used after the names of countries and other organized bodies ending in "s"or after words more descriptive than possessive.

Example: department of veterans affairs; prosecuting attorneys council

In compound nouns, the "'s" or "s'" is added to the element nearest the object possessed.

Examples: attorney general's appointments; secretary of state's agenda

Do not use an apostrophe in phrases such as the following:

Examples: thirty (30) days notice; ten (10) years experience

(29) Semicolons

Generally, use semicolons only in the sentence style of tabulation.

Example: A school corporation may grant a teacher, on written request, a sabbatical forimprovement of professional skills through:

(1) advanced study;(2) work experience;(3) teacher exchange programs; or(4) approved educational travel.

(30) Colons

Page 23

Use a colon to introduce a series of items, such as in the listing style of tabulation. (See Tabulation,page 30.)

Example: Sec. 1. The application must include the following information:(1) The applicant's name.(2) The name of the sponsoring agency.

Use a colon to introduce a long quotation or the text of a form or other document.

Example: The consent form must be in the following form:"I give my permission for ____________ (name of day care center or home) toreport the name and birth date of my child...."

(31) Quotation Marks

Quotation marks should be used to enclose defined words or phrases or to set forth the form information musttake. Commas, periods, and question marks should be placed outside the quotation marks unless the punctuationis included as part of the quoted material. Commas are also placed outside quotation marks when in the middleof a sentence.

Example: As used in this section, "ad valorem tax" means...

Example: "Revenue bonds", as used in this subsection, refers to bonds...

(32) Hyphens

Avoid hyphens. Many words that once were hyphenated are now written as one word or as two wordswithout a hyphen.

Examples: statewide; attorney general; reelect; lieutenant governor; bipartisan; vicepresident; cooperate; anticoagulant; nonresident

See EXHIBIT 77, Preferred Spelling List, page 299, for additional examples.

(33) Expression of Numbers

(a) Introduction

Integers, dollar amounts, percentages, and fractions (except dates, times, and numbers within the textof a bill digest or a resolution) should be expressed in words followed by figures in parentheses. Stylepolicy is less restrictive for digests and resolutions, and journalistic style normally should be followed. (See Digest Style Guidelines, page 45, for specific digest style rules and Concurrent Resolutions,page 114, and Simple Resolutions, page 116, for specific resolution styles.)

(b) Style for Numbers Expressed in Words

Examples: twenty-four (24)one hundred ten (110)eight hundred ninety-eight (898)one thousand six hundred fifty (1,650)

Page 24

eighty-four thousand (84,000)

Note: The word "and" does not appear in the examples above.

Exception: Write grades as numerals.

Examples: grades 1 and 3; kindergarten through grade 12

Numbers may be expressed in figures if length would prohibit expressing them in both words andfigures, especially in tables.

Examples: County government share $15State government share $34

See EXHIBIT 82, Sample Formatting for Tables, page 313.

(c) Age

Use "at least", "less than", and "years of age" or "weeks of age" when referring to age.

Avoid drafting age ranges or restrictions in a manner that creates ambiguity.

Don't Say: An applicant must be between fifteen (15) years of age and eighteen (18) yearsof age.

Say: An applicant must be at least fifteen (15) years of age but less than eighteen (18)years of age.

Don't Say: An individual who is more than sixty-five (65) years of age is entitled to apension.

Say: An individual who is at least sixty-five (65) years of age is entitled to a pension.

Don't Say: An individual must be sixty-five (65) years of age to receive a pension.

Say: An individual must be at least sixty-five (65) years of age to receive a pension.

Avoid drafting age ranges or restrictions in a manner that does not use the preferred drafting style.

Don't Say: A recipient must be at least sixteen (16) years old.

Say: A recipient must be at least sixteen (16) years of age.

Don't Say: A veterinarian must provide a rabies vaccine to each dog that is at least twenty(20) weeks old.

Say: A veterinarian must provide a rabies vaccine to each dog that is at least twenty

Page 25

(20) weeks of age.

(d) Fractions

Percentages are preferred to fractions whenever practicable.

Don't Say: Say:one-half (1/2) fifty percent (50%)three-fourths (3/4) seventy-five percent (75%)

However, for purposes involving fractions that cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal (i.e., adecimal that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point) use of the fraction may be preferable,particularly when the need for precision is illusory.

Consider the following as an example: A bill creates a new board, and the bill's author tells thedrafting attorney that two-thirds of the board members must be present at meetings for a quorum toexist. The general rule encourages use of percentages rather than fractions, but because two-thirds liesin between .66 and .67 at .66666..., there is no exact equivalent percentage—neither 66% nor 67% isaccurate. Use of the fraction is thus appropriate.

Use care when truncating or rounding a decimal as it may affect the final outcome of a calculation.

Compound fractions should be expressed as follows:

Examples: three and one-half (3 1/2)four and three-eighths (4 3/8)

(e) Percentages

Decimals are preferred whenever practicable.

Examples: one-tenth of one percent (0.1%)sixty-two and one-half percent (62.5%)

(f) Ordinals

Express ordinals in words only.

Examples: first (NOT 1st); twenty-second (NOT 22nd)

(g) Use of "One"

When "one" is used as a pronoun, it should not be followed by a numeral in parentheses.

Example: If the director is the only one to attend the meeting...

When "one" is used as a number, it should be followed by a numeral in parentheses.

Example: The precinct shall nominate one (1) delegate.

Page 26

(h) Dates

When a date includes a month, day, and year, the year is set off by commas, but when the date includesonly the month and year, no comma is used.

Examples: June 30 October 30, 1978June 1984 April, May, and June 1985

(i) Time

Generally, time should be expressed in figures. Avoid using terms such as "local time" and "prevailinglocal time", and avoid referring to time zones.

Examples: 6 a.m.4:30 p.m. midnight (NOT 12:00 midnight)noon (NOT 12:00 noon)

(j) Temperatures

Examples: one hundred sixty (160) degrees Fahrenheitninety (90) degrees Celsius

(k) Money

Monetary amounts should be expressed as written words followed by a dollar sign and figures inparentheses. Dollar amounts that are whole numbers do not need decimal points and zeroes. Note thatcommas are not used when expressing monetary amounts as words.

Examples: one dollar ($1)ninety-seven dollars ($97)two hundred dollars ($200)three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500)ten thousand eight hundred fifty-seven dollars ($10,857)

When using dollars and cents, use the word "and" and decimal points to separate dollars and cents.

Examples: eighty-five cents ($0.85)five hundred twenty-five dollars and fifty cents ($525.50)six hundred seventy-five thousand nine hundred eighty-two dollars and eleven

cents ($675,982.11)

When using cents and fractions of cents, use the following format:

Examples: one cent ($0.01)one-tenth of a cent ($0.001)one one-hundredth of a cent ($0.0001)one one-thousandth of a cent ($0.00001)

(l) Rounding

Page 27

When directing that figures be rounded, use the following format:

Examples: rounded to the nearest one percent (1%)rounded to the nearest one-tenth percent (0.1%)rounded to the nearest one-hundredth percent (0.01%)rounded to the nearest one-thousandth percent (0.001%)rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth percent (0.0001%)

rounded to the nearest tenth (0.1)rounded to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01)rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001)rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (0.0001)

(m) Formulas

Use the STEP method of tabulation rather than numerators and denominators. (See Formulas, page 33.)

Numerators and denominators are sometimes used in provisions concerning tax law and localgovernment funding.

Example: The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales of thetaxpayer in Indiana during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is thetotal sales of the taxpayer everywhere during the taxable year.

(n) Fiscal Year

When referring to the state fiscal year, use "beginning July 1" and "ending June 30". (See IC 4-1-1-1.)

Example: The appropriation covers the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, and endingJune 30, 2014.

(34) Deadlines

When setting a deadline, use "not later than...after".

Don't Say: The board shall hold the meeting within thirty (30) days of the vacancy.

Say: The board shall hold the meeting not later than thirty (30) days after the vacancyoccurs.

(35) Renaming or Eliminating an Entity

When renaming or eliminating a department, an agency, a commission, a fund, or any other entity, a Foliosearch is required to locate all references to that entity.

Search Folio for the following:

(a) The official name of the entity.

Page 28

(b) Unofficial and incorrect versions of the entity's name.

(c) Key words of the entity's name.

(d) The cite establishing the entity.

(e) Any unofficial name by which the entity is known.

Example: Say that a bill proposes to change the name of the state office "auditor of state".A Folio search would be conducted for "auditor of state", as well as for termslike "state auditor" and "auditor of the state".

See EXHIBIT 79, Using Folio, page 305, for a discussion of the Folio program and its functions.

(36) Designation of Sections, Subsections, Subdivisions, Clauses, and Items

When feasible, draft short and concise sections. Use a separate section for each separate topic.

For paragraph divisions of a section (called subsections), use "(a)", "(b)", "(c)", etc., to designate them. Allparagraphs in sections containing two or more paragraphs must be designated.

Do not use divisions below items, because a separate sentence should probably be used in that case.

When designating subdivisions, clauses, and items in a section that has subsections, use the followingstyle (the italicized text below provides a description of the different levels of tabulation shown):

Subsection))))))),Sec. 1. (a) .......................................... :

Subdivision)) ),(1) ............................................... ;(2) ............................................... :

Clause)))),(A) ............................. ; and (or)(B) ............................. :

Item))),(i) ........................ ; and (or)(ii) ....................... ; and (or)

Subdivision)))),(3) ......................................... .

Subsection)))))))),(b) ....................................................... .

Page 29

When designating subdivisions and clauses in a section that has no subsections, use the followingstyle:

Sec. 1. ....................................................... :

Subdivision))))),(1) ................................................ ;(2) ................................................ ; and (or)(3) ................................................ :

Clause)))))),(A) ......................................... ; and (or)(B) ......................................... :

Item))))),(i) ........................ ; and (or)(ii) ....................... .

(37) Redesignation

When striking or adding subsections, subdivisions, clauses, or items within a section, renumber thesubsequent designations. Also perform a Folio search for references requiring an update in other parts ofthe Indiana Code.

See EXHIBIT 79, Using Folio, page 305, for a discussion of the Folio program and its functions.

Do not renumber or redesignate provisions in uniform laws or interstate compacts. It is permissible torenumber or redesignate provisions in model acts.

(38) Tabulation

(a) Introduction

The purpose of tabulation is to break down the elements of a sentence into readily identifiablecomponents as an aid to understanding. Break a sentence into its parts and present them in tabularform if this makes the meaning substantially clearer. There are two styles of tabulation, listing andsentence. It is important to remember, however, that no matter which style is used, the introductorylanguage preceding the tabulated material must apply to all of the elements because those elementsare a part of the whole thought.

Often it is possible to use either style of tabulation. Use the style that works best within the context.

Consider beginning a new sentence after a tabulation. If the sentence is not a part of the tabulatedseries, it is sometimes better practice to draft it as a separate subsection or section.

Tabulation should not go beyond the "item" level of designation.

(b) Listing Style

The first style of tabulation is known as a listing. As the name implies, each element is listed after theintroductory clause and begins with a capital letter and ends with a period. When a listing is used, theintroductory language must include the words "as follows" or "the following". Conjunctions (i.e.,

Page 30

"and", "or", etc.) are not used in listing style tabulation.

Example: Sec. 1. The application must include the following information:(1) The applicant's name.(2) The name of the sponsoring agency.(3) The name of the city in which the event is to take place.

Each listed element can have subelements, but each element must end with a period even if it hassubelements.

Example: Sec. 1. The application must include the following information:(1) The applicant's name and personal information, including thefollowing:

(A) The applicant's business address.(B) The applicant's business telephone number.

(2) The name of the sponsoring agency.

(c) Sentence Style

The second style of tabulation is known as sentence style. In this style, a sentence containing a seriesof elements is reformatted so that each element is given a line of its own, each element has some typeof designation before it, and the commas are replaced with semicolons.

Use the following sentence for an example:

"To be entitled to vote, a person must be a resident of Indiana, at least eighteen (18) years of age,and registered with the county election board."

When this sentence is tabulated in sentence style, it is easier for the reader to identify the threequalifying elements:

Example: Sec. 1. To be entitled to vote in Indiana, a person must be:(1) a resident of Indiana;(2) at least eighteen (18) years of age; and(3) registered with the county election board.

Note that the conjunction always follows the next to last element in the tabulation, and that the onlypermissible conjunctions are "and" or "or" (not "and/or"). The conjunction, however, applies to eachelement in the tabulation and not just to the last two elements. For information concerning theappropriate use of "and" and "or", see And; Or; And/Or, page 12.

In the sentence style of tabulation, each element of a sentence may be divided into subelements. Eachtabulated element must relate to the word or phrase immediately preceding the colon.

(d) Mixing Tabulation Styles

Avoid mixing the tabulation styles within a single provision. For instance, do not use listing styletabulation within sentence style.

Don't Say: The project plan must include:

Page 31

(1) an application that does the following:(A) States the name of the project.(B) States the intended use of the project; and

(2) an application fee.

Say: The project plan must include:(1) an application that states:

(A) the name of the project; and(B) the intended use of the project; and

(2) an application fee.

OR

The project plan must include:(1) an application; and(2) an application fee.

The project plan application must state the name of the project and the intendeduse of the project.

(e) Listings Without Numbering or Lettering

When the listing style of tabulation is used, the numbering or lettering of listed elements is notrequired if:

(i) the elements may be listed in order (such as alphabetical order, numerical order, or IndianaCode cite order);

(ii) it is likely that the listing will be frequently modified; and

(iii) there is no need to cite to a particular element within the listing.

Example: Sec. 2. The following drugs are controlled substances:AcetylmethadolAllylprodineAlphacetylmethadolBetameprodine BetamethadolBetaprodine.

Example: Sec. 1. The following agencies are not abolished:Indiana department of administration (IC 4-13-1-2 ).Legislative council (IC 2-5-1.1-1).Regional planning commissions (IC 36-7-7).

In the examples above, note the use of a period after the final entry in the first list and the use ofa period after each entry in the second. Some existing Indiana Code provisions containingtabulated lists use a period after each entry, and some do not. When adding an entry to an existinglist of this type, follow the existing style. When drafting a new tabulated list that will not usenumbering or lettering, use this rule of thumb: if the list contains five or fewer elements, includea period after each entry; if the list contains more than five elements, use a period only after the

Page 32

final entry.

(f) Formulas

A variation of the listing style of tabulation is the style of tabulation used when writing formulas. Thestyle is the same as the listing style except that the word "STEP" followed by the appropriate numeralwritten out in capital letters is substituted as the appropriate division. This style is most frequentlyused for tax, school finance, pension, and mathematical computations. Tabulation should not gobeyond the "item" level of designation or indentation.

Example: (e) An issuing body may enter into an agreement only under the followingconditions:

(1) Entering into the agreement would not cause the amount determined inSTEP THREE of the following STEPS to exceed twenty percent (20%):

STEP ONE: Determine the aggregate amount of the outstandingnotional amounts of the issuing body's outstanding agreements.STEP TWO: Determine the amount of obligations not yet issued but forwhich one (1) or more agreements have been entered into by the issuingbody.STEP THREE: Determine the quotient of:

(i) the STEP ONE result; divided by(ii) the STEP TWO result.

(2) The issuing body has adopted a comprehensive agreement policy at apublic meeting.

D. EDITING ROMAN TEXT (i.e., EXISTING LAW)

(1) General Clean-Up

A limited number of items can be corrected or updated in existing Indiana Code or Noncode text withoutmaking a substantive change. Limit any clean-up to the following:

(a) Updating agency and entity names.

(b) Removal of section headings. Note: The headings in IC 36-7-4, the local planning and zoninglaw, are not section headings but relate to applicability. They should be stricken only when achange in applicability is desired. (See IC 36-7-4-101, IC 36-7-4-102, and IC 36-7-4-103.)

(c) Removal of gender references.

(d) Resolution of ambiguities.

(e) Removal of provisos. (e.g., Provided, however, that...)

(f) Removal of provisions that by their own terms have expired.

(g) Changing "which" to "that" only if "which" is incorrect AND there are several other amendmentsbeing made in close proximity to that word.

Page 33

(h) Correcting any technical errors.

(i) Updating a section reference within a chapter, a chapter reference within an article, or an articlereference within a title, to match the preferred drafting style. (See Internal References toIndiana Code Provisions, page 57.)

Example: Say the following section appears in IC 24-2-1:

Sec. 9. The secretary shall keep a record of all registrations receivedunder IC 24-2-1-8.

Under the general clean-up guidelines, the section would be amended to read asfollows:

Sec. 9. The secretary shall keep a record of all registrations receivedunder IC 24-2-1-8. section 8 of this chapter.

(2) General Style and Striking Rules

(a) Adding Provisions to Existing Law

When adding an entire subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, retain the alphabetic or numericdesignation at the beginning of the original text.

Example: Sec. 7. (a) The tax court shall render its decisions in writing.(b) Written decisions of the tax court may be published and distributed

in the manner prescribed by the supreme court.(b) (c) A decision of the tax court remanding the matter of assessment of

property to the Indiana board of tax review shall specify the issues on remand.

(b) Striking Provisions from Existing Law

When striking an entire subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, strike the entirety of thesubsection, subdivision, clause, or item, including the alphabetic or numeric designation. If applicable,reletter or renumber any subsequent subsection, subdivision, clause, or item. Follow the sameguidelines for striking multiple designations of text.

Example: Sec. 2. (a) One (1) activity report shall be filed not later than May 31,covering the period from November 1 of the immediately preceding calendaryear through April 30.

(b) (a) Subject to subsection (c), (b), the commission shall impose a penaltyof ten dollars ($10) per day for each day that the person fails to file a reportrequired by this chapter.

(c) (b) If the person...

Example: (2) have satisfied section 3.1(a)(2) of this chapter and have had continuousactive experience for one (1) year immediately preceding the application as alicensed salesperson in Indiana; and(2) have a high school diploma or a general educational development (GED)diploma under IC 20-20-6 (before its repeal) or IC 22-4.1-18; and

Page 34

(3) have successfully completed an approved broker course of study asprescribed in IC 25-34.1-5-5(b); IC 25-34.1-5-5.

Example: (G) Settlement procedures.(H) Other courses approved by the commission.(I) (H) Appraising.(J) (I) Property management.

Example: (i) One (1) member to represent large businesses.(ii) One (1) member to represent small businesses.(iii) (i) One (1) member to represent banking and finance.(ii) One (1) member to represent the public at large.

If there is no subsequent subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, and the subsection, subdivision,clause, or item being stricken is the only one that remains, strike that text's designation as well.

Example: (a) The council consists of five (5) members, three (3) of whom must berecommended by the commission.

(b) The commission shall appoint members from different geographic areasof Indiana.

Example: Sec. 1. Copies of(1) all papers filed with; and(2) all records, exhibits, and awards, and orders made by

the board are competent evidence.

When striking a partial subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, retain the alphabetic or numericdesignation at the beginning of the text being stricken.

Example: Sec. 3. (a) At the demand of the owner of the exempt property, Thewarehouseman shall release the exempt property to the owner.

(b) A waiver of this section is void.

(c) Striking References

To strike an internal reference to a subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, strike only the letteror number designation. Correct existing punctuation or language as needed.

Example: Money received under subsection (b) (c) may be used to pay administrativeexpenses.

Example: Evidence that an organization satisfies subsection (a)(1)(C)(iii) (a)(1)(C)(ii)includes evidence of the organization's continued use of a service mark ortrademarked logo.

Example: The department must comply with reporting requirements under subsection(d)(4) (d)(5) through (d)(7).

Example: The department shall make payments to local corporations under clauses (A),(B), and (C) clause (D) only after approval by the state board.

Page 35

Example: Produce shall be distributed in accordance with guidelines under items (i), (ii),and (iv). and (v).

To strike an external reference to a subsection, subdivision, clause, or item, strike the entirereference.

Example: A patron dealing cards under IC 4-32.2-5-14(b) IC 4-32.2-5-14(b)(1) orIC 4-32.2-5-14(c) is not considered a worker for purposes of this article.

Example: A student may be licensed to practice in a vocational rehabilitation center underIC 12-12-1-4.1(a)(1)(B)(ii). IC 12-12-1-4.1(a)(1).

(d) Section References

If the reference is to "section" and a number, consider the entire reference to be one word. If thesection reference being stricken is in a list, strike just the section number. Correct existing punctuationor language as needed.

Example: The report must be filed in accordance with section 3 section 2 of this chapter.

Example: Retirement dates specified under sections 2 3, and 4 of this chapter may not bemore than six (6) months before the date the application is received by the board.

Example: Retirement dates specified under sections 2, 3, and section 4 of this chapter maynot be more than six (6) months before the date the application is received by theboard.

(e) Criminal or Civil Offense Classes

In criminal and civil law statutes, the word "Class" and the letter designating the classification of thecrime should be considered one word. Correct existing punctuation or language as needed.

Example: A person who commits an offense described in this subsection commits aClass C Class B misdemeanor.

(f) Punctuation

Punctuation always appears in the same type face as the text to which the punctuation is connected.

Example: This chapter shall be administered by the director. commissioner.

Example: This chapter shall be administered by the director. commissioner or chair ofthe board.

Example: As used in this section, "administrative board" refers to the administrativeboard of the department.

Example: Submissions must be provided to the nominating committee (as defined inIC 21-18-6-8).

Page 36

Note that roman punctuation must be deleted, not stricken, if the preceding word is not stricken.

Example: This chapter shall be administered by the director commissioner, andsuperintendent.

(g) Numbers

When striking numbers, it is acceptable to strike the entire existing number and add the new number.

Example: This chapter applies to a county having more than one hundred forty-eightthousand (148,000) one hundred fifty-three thousand (153,000) registeredvehicles.

Example: This chapter applies to a county having more than one hundred forty-eight fifty-three thousand (148,000) (153,000) registered vehicles.

Chapter 3. Bills

A. PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF BILL

(1) Introduction

The principal components of a bill are the following:

Digest

Title

Enacting Clause

Body

The body of a bill may contain amendments and additions to the Indiana Code, repealers of Indiana Codeprovisions and Noncode provisions, and amendments and additions to Noncode provisions.

(2) Drafting a Provision as Indiana Code Text or Noncode Text

In 2011, the Code Revision Commission adopted guidelines for use in considering whether to draftlegislation as an Indiana Code provision or a Noncode provision. There was consensus on two points:

1. The law should be accessible to the public and to practitioners as much as possible.

2. The law should be drafted in a way that is transparent.

To achieve consistency with these points, legislation presumptively should be placed in the Indiana Code.The permissible uses of Noncode provisions are discussed below.

The following types of provisions should be drafted as Indiana Code provisions:

(a) An applicability provision.

An applicability provision is used to specify the persons, things, or occurrences to which astatute applies or to limit the time frame to which the statute applies.

(b) A provision that does not contain an expiration date.

(c) A provision that is in effect for more than two years.

A provision that staggers the initial terms of members of a board or commission is anexception and may be drafted as Noncode. Provisions that make construction appropriations,provisions concerning bond authorization approvals, or other provisions in or related to thebudget act are also exceptions.

(d) A provision that phases in a legal requirement over time, even if the phase-in period is shorterthan two years.

Page 38

(e) A provision that creates substantive rights and obligations.

(f) A Medicaid waiver provision.

(g) A provision that creates a study committee, task force, etc., if the law creating the entity does notexpire or expires later than the end of the year of enactment.

(h) A provision that transfers rules from one agency or entity to another.

(i) A provision that is a legalizing provision.

(j) A provision that is a savings clause.

(k) A provision that will be used by many people.

(l) A provision containing an expiration date that is several years in the future.

An Indiana Code provision may contain an expiration date. Except as provided in the discussion ofNoncode provisions below, if a provision will expire at a future date, it should be drafted as a provisionof the Indiana Code if the expiration date is more than two years after the date of enactment.

See SPECIFIC TYPES OF INDIANA CODE PROVISIONS, page 62, for additional information aboutIndiana Code provisions and examples.

Most Noncode provisions enacted by the General Assembly in prior years have been repealed or haveexpired by their own terms. The following statutes list the Noncode provisions that are still in effect:

IC 1-1-1-2 Noncode provisions enacted before the 1976 Regular Session

IC 1-1-1-2.1 Noncode provisions enacted after the 1975 Regular Session and before the 1985Regular Session

IC 1-1-1.1 Noncode provisions enacted after the 1984 Regular Session and before the 2010Regular Session

The following types of provisions may be drafted as Noncode provisions:

(a) A provision that applies to only one person or entity and that does not have ongoing applicability.

(b) A provision that is transitional.

(c) A provision that voids a rule on a specific date or that requires an agency to amend a rule by aspecific date.

(d) A provision concerning the applicability of tax laws.

(e) A provision of Noncode applicability.

(f) A provision that will be in effect for two years or less, unless the provision should be included inthe Indiana Code, per the section above.

(g) A provision creating a temporary appropriation.

(h) A provision creating a temporary study committee that expires before January 1 of the yearfollowing enactment.

(i) A provision that makes a construction appropriation, a provision concerning a bond authorizationapproval, or another provision in or related to the budget act, even if the provision is in effect formore than two years.

See SPECIFIC TYPES OF NONCODE PROVISIONS, page 92, for additional information aboutNoncode provisions and examples.

As outlined above, certain types of provisions may be as Noncode provisions. However, it may bedesirable to place a provision in the Indiana Code rather than drafting the provision as a Noncodeprovision. An emergency clause should always be drafted as a Noncode provision.

A Noncode provision should normally have an expiration date. If an expiration date is not wanted, theprovision should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision unless the provision is one of the following:

(a) A provision concerning the applicability of tax laws.

(b) A provision that makes a construction appropriation, concerns a bond authorization approval, oris another budget act related SECTION.

(a) An emergency clause. (An emergency clause should never have an expiration date.)

(3) Order of Provisions in a Bill Adding a New Chapter or Article

The following is suggested as the order of provisions in a bill that adds a new chapter or article:

Indiana Code Provisions

(a) Applicability (including scope, exceptions, and exclusions)

(b) Definitions

(c) Creation of entity

(d) Administrative and procedural provisions

(e) Substance (state requirements in order of time, importance, or other logical sequence)

(f) Prohibitions and penalties

(g) Legalizing provisions

(h) Savings provisions

(i) Severability provisions

Page 40

(j) AppropriationsNoncode Provisions

(k) Transitional provisions

(l) Appropriations

(m) Implementation provisions

(n) Emergency clause

Before the 2012 session, repealers were drafted as Noncode provisions located just after a bill's IndianaCode provisions and before any other Noncode SECTIONS. The repeal procedure was changed to requirethat repealers be inserted in a bill in Indiana Code cite order. (See REPEALERS, page 85.)

B. BILL DIGEST

(1) Introduction

The rules of each chamber require that each bill contain a brief digest stating the nature of the proposedlegislation. The digest is not part of the bill, and it does not become law. The purpose of the digest is totell the casual reader in easily understandable terms what the bill does, avoiding legal jargon and technicalterminology. The digest is not meant to describe in detail each change made by a bill: it should simplyoutline the major ideas contained within the bill.

(2) Components of a Digest

There are three main digest components: the citations affected, the synopsis (which is composed of theshort synopsis and the long synopsis), and the effective date.

(a) Citations Affected

The first part of a digest should list the Indiana Code citations affected by the bill. Each Indiana Codecite should be separated by a semicolon, and a period should be placed at the end of the list. List theIndiana Code cites in Indiana Code cite order.

If a single section within a chapter is affected, cite to the section. If more than one section in a chapteris affected, cite to the chapter level.

Example: Citations Affected: IC 2-3-5-7; IC 6-1.1-3-5; IC 6-1.1-3-6.

becomes

Citations Affected: IC 2-3-5-7; IC 6-1.1-3.

If more than one chapter in an article is affected, cite to the article.

Example: Citations Affected: IC 8-1-3-8; IC 8-1-4-5; IC 8-1-9-4.

Page 41

becomes

Citations Affected: IC 8-1.

If the bill also amends existing Noncode provisions, list those provisions after the Indiana Codecitations. Do not list the Noncode provisions being added.

Example: Citations Affected: IC 1-2-3-4; IC 5-6-7; IC 8-9; P.L.193-2010, SECTION 6;P.L.145-2012, SECTION 2.

If the bill only adds Noncode provisions, write "Noncode".

Example: Citations Affected: Noncode.

If the bill only amends Noncode provisions, list the P.L. numbers and SECTIONS being amended.

Example: Citations Affected: P.L.193-2010, SECTION 6; P.L.145-2012, SECTION 2.

If the bill affects so many Indiana Code provisions that it would be impractical to list them all, usethe phrase "Numerous citations throughout the Indiana Code.".

Example: Citations Affected: Numerous citations throughout the Indiana Code.

Once a bill is printed, each citation in the Citations Affected list is concentrated to the article level.If a Noncode provision is amended, it is included after the article citations. A new Noncode provisionshould not be noted unless that provision is the only provision in the bill. (See "If the bill only addsNoncode provisions" above.)

Example: Citations Affected: IC 2-5; IC 4-4; IC 4-12; IC 4-23; IC 5-2; IC 5-20; IC 5-22;IC 5-28; IC 5-29; IC 5-31; IC 6-1.1; IC 6-3.1; IC 8-4.5; IC 8-16; IC 9-18;IC 10-17; IC 10-18; IC 11-10; IC 12-13; IC 14-8; IC 14-9; IC 14-10; IC 14-21;IC 14-25; IC 15-11; IC 15-17; IC 16-41; IC 20-20; IC 20-40; IC 22-4.1;P.L.14-2012, SECTION 18.

(b) Synopsis

The second part of a digest is the synopsis. The synopsis is a brief summary of the contents of the billand should be as short as possible. The digest is intended to be a general summary of the bill and nota point by point outline. Keep the digest reasonable in length. If a digest is too long, it will be difficultfor the reader to follow and may create formatting problems when the bill is printed. The digestshould summarize the contents of the bill rather than spell out each provision in the bill.

Short synopsis

The first part of the synopsis is the "short synopsis", which should summarize the entire bill in asfew words as possible. The short synopsis is displayed on the electronic voting boards in theHouse and Senate when a bill is up for a vote or discussion. It also appears on a number ofcomputer-generated reports and summaries, so the drafting attorney should carefully consider howthe short synopsis should be worded. The short synopsis does not contain a verb.

Page 42

Example: Synopsis: Small breweries.

Example: Synopsis: Merit system for Marion County sheriff deputies.

Long synopsis

The body of the synopsis should summarize the major provisions of the bill. Each sentence shouldbegin with a verb and be followed by a brief explanation of the proposed change. The sentencesshould be arranged in a way that will make sense to the reader, such as the order in which theprovisions appear in the bill, or grouped together by subject matter. Keep the synopsis short.

Don't Say: Provides that a school corporation's disciplinary rules are not required to providefor suspension or expulsion when there are statutory grounds for suspension orexpulsion of a student, unless the situation concerning the student involves afirearm. Provides that school corporation officials, including administrative staffand teachers, may choose from a variety of disciplinary actions rather thansubjecting the student to suspension or expulsion, including assignment of thestudent to an extended day program that: (1) allows a student to attend regularclasses; and (2) extends the daily schedule to include before or after schoolsessions that provide a student with an opportunity to build academic,disciplinary, and social skills.

Say: Provides that a school corporation's disciplinary rules are not required to providefor student suspension or expulsion when there are statutory grounds for thoseactions, unless the situation involves a firearm. Provides that officials may takedisciplinary actions other than suspension or expulsion. Adds assignment to anextended day program as a disciplinary action that may be taken in addition toor instead of suspension or expulsion.

If, however, so many changes are being made that a complete listing would be impractical, thefollowing language may be used:

Sample Boilerplate: "Makes numerous other changes in the law of ...".

Example: Makes various changes to motor vehicle law concerning registrationof vehicles, traffic safety and driver education programs, interstatecompacts and agreements, fees, and watercraft titling andregistration.

Appropriations

If money is appropriated in the bill, the appropriation should be noted in the digest. Either explainthe specifics of the appropriation or include the phrase "Makes an appropriation". If the phraseis used, it is usually one of the last items listed in the digest.

Example: Establishes the statewide 911 fund (fund). Provides that the fund is a dedicatedfund and that no transfers may be made from the fund by the board of finance orbudget agency. Appropriates money in the fund to local boards.

Example: Imposes a legal services fee on parties filing certain actions. Specifies that the

Page 43

handling and expenditure of the pro bono legal services fees received by theIndiana Bar Foundation are subject to audit by the state board of accounts.Makes an appropriation.

If an appropriation is in the current law, and the appropriation is unchanged, do not note theappropriation in the digest or the title.

Repealers

If a provision is repealed by the bill, it should be described or explained in the digest.

Example: Repeals the laws allowing for a consolidated sales and withholding tax return.

Example: Provides that the parole board shall transfer a long term inmate to a transitionalprogram if the inmate meets certain criteria, and specifies that the parole boardshall release a long term inmate who has completed a transitional program if theinmate satisfies certain conditions, including successful completion of atransitional program. Repeals superseded provisions.

Current Law

If it would be helpful for the reader to know that a current provision is being changed (rather thana new provision being established), use a parenthetical to explain the change.

Example: Provides that licenses issued under this article are issued for three years.(Currently, licenses are issued for two years.)

Example: Authorizes the department of transportation to adopt rules to establish anddesignate a highway as an extra heavy duty highway. (Under current law, extraheavy duty highways are designated by statute.)

Example: Requires a second or third class city to adopt a salary ordinance not later thanNovember 1 (instead of September 30) for the ensuing budget year.

Technical Corrections

If a technical correction is made in the bill, the phrase "Makes a technical correction" should beincluded in the digest. This is usually one of the last items listed in the digest.

Example: Makes a technical change regarding the details for the amount of an E85deduction.

.Example: Provides for a continuous abatement notice regarding weeds and vegetation.

Adjusts the maximum levy for Clark County. Makes a technical correction.

Delayed Effective Date

If a provision in the bill will not take effect until some date in the future, mention the delayedeffective date in the digest.

Page 44

Example: Requires, after December 31, 2017, the dairy council to add seven members tothe council's committee on daily dairy matters.

Example: Voids, as of July 1, 2018, any rules or policies enacted by a state agency before,on, or after June 30, 2017, concerning transportation of plastics within Indiana.

Bill Preparation by a Committee or Commission

At the end of the synopsis, there may be inserted a statement that the bill was prepared at therequest of a particular committee or commission, if:

(A) the bill was prepared under the direction of an interim study committee established by theLegislative Council or by a commission established by the General Assembly withlegislative members; and

(B) the committee or commission agrees to insert such a statement.

The statement must be in the following form:

Boilerplate: (The introduced version of this bill was prepared by the ______________.)

This statement may not be inserted in the bill synopsis if the author makes any unauthorizedsubstantive changes in the bill for introduction after committee or commission action.

Example: Criminal law and sentencing policy study committee. Relocates the statuteestablishing the criminal law and sentencing policy study committee. (Theintroduced version of this bill was prepared by the criminal law and sentencingpolicy study committee.)

(c) Effective Date

The third part of each digest is a statement of the bill's effective date or dates. Each effective date in thebill must be mentioned, even the uniform effective date (IC 1-1-3-3) of July 1. If there are multipleeffective dates, one of which is "upon passage", "upon passage" should always be listed first, even if oneor more dates are retroactive. The remaining dates should be in chronological order from earliest to latest.Each entry should be separated by a semicolon, and a period should be placed at the end of the list.

Example: Effective: Upon passage; January 1, 2010 (retroactive); April 30, 2012(retroactive); July 1, 2013; December 31, 2013; July 1, 2016.

(3) Digest Style Guidelines

Use the guidelines below in drafting a bill's digest. Remember that the keys to writing a digest are brevityand clarity.

(a) Use of "Indiana"

In general, avoid using "Indiana" in agency names, unless excluding "Indiana" from the digestwould create confusion between an Indiana agency and a federal or other jurisdiction agency.

Page 45

Don't Say: Say:

Indiana board of pharmacy board of pharmacymedical licensing board of Indiana medical licensing board

(b) Defined Terms, Short Names, and Acronyms

If a particular agency or entity will be repeatedly referenced in the digest, use the full name thefirst time the agency or entity is mentioned, then define the term or state the short name oracronym in parentheses, and use the defined term, short name, or acronym throughout the rest ofthe digest. Do not use quotation marks around the defined term, short name, or acronym. Avoidusing the defined term, short name, or acronym in the short synopsis, unless the short synopsisbecomes lengthy otherwise.

Example: Extra heavy duty highways. Authorizes the department of transportation(INDOT) to adopt rules to establish and designate a highway as an extra heavyduty highway. Requires INDOT to include in the rules: (1) highways designatedby statute as extra heavy duty highways; and (2) statutory size and weight limits.Provides that statutory extra heavy duty highway designations and size andweight limits expire on the date on which INDOT's rules are finally adopted.

If a term is newly defined or changed in the bill, do not describe the definition in the digest unlessthe addition or change is a key point of the bill.

Example: Water utility resource data. Authorizes the utility regulatory commission to adoptrules to implement certain reporting requirements. Excludes an undergroundaquifer or water in an underground aquifer from the definition of "watercourse".

If a commonly used acronym or shortened version of a phrase is available and will not confusethe reader, use the shortened term.

Example: Increases state highway speeds from 60 mph to 65 mph.

Example: Permits the submission of DNA evidence.

(c) Numbers

Write out numbers zero through nine. Use numerals for all other numbers.

Example: Requires the information to be submitted not later than seven days after it isreceived. Provides for an additional 14 day extension.

Do not write out dollar amounts.

Don't Say: Say:

one hundred dollars $100fifty-two cents $0.52

When able, use percentages rather than fractions. Do not write out percentages.

Page 46

Don't Say: Say:

five percent OR five percent (5%) 5%one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) 0.1%

Do not write out fractions.

Don't Say: Say:one-fourth 1/4two-thirds 2/3three and one-half 3 1/2four and three-eighths 4 3/8

(d) Practices to Avoid

Avoid drafting overly broad statements and run-on sentences.

Don't Say: Changes motor vehicle law concerning safety.

Don't Say: Revises provisions governing the use of golf carts on certain roadways in ClayCounty by providing that an ordinance adopted by the county authorizing the useof golf carts in the county may be adopted only after consultation with the sheriffof the county and must require that an individual who operates a golf cart in thecounty hold a driver's license for at least three years prior to operating the golfcart on the roadway and that a penalty required to be paid for violation of thedriver's license provision must be deposited in the general fund of the county.

Avoid drafting misleading or stilted language, jargon, and language that may be construed as one-sided or argumentative.

Don't Say: Repeals oppressive and unnecessary laws.

Don't Say: Requires that staffing services agencies adopt better guidelines for interviewingand hiring temporary employees.

Don't Say: Provides that any member who comports himself or herself most indecorouslymust relinquish all association with the board posthaste.

Avoid using the words "clarifies", "improves", "reforms", and "streamlines".

Don't Say: Improves the cemetery access law to provide that a visitor is allowed access toa cemetery located on privately owned land at least ten days each year ratherthan one day.

Avoid using "popular" names.

Avoid giving a popular name to a bill, or naming a bill or statute after an individual or event.Doing so may lead to public misunderstanding of the bill's contents or what the bill proposes todo. For instance, a name like "John Doe's Bill" may not provide a clear explanation of the subjectmatter of the bill, and a name like "The Freedom From Oppressive Taxation Law" is not neutral.

Page 47

Such names should be avoided.

(4) Form of a Digest

A sampling of the various forms a digest can take is provided below. (See also EXHIBIT 2, Bill Digest,on page 157.)

Example: The following digest describes a bill that contains at least two sections being amendedin IC 1-1-1 as of July 1 of the current session year and one section being repealed at afuture date.

Applies statewide theauthority currently applying to Lake County allowing the county auditor to removereal property from a tax sale if the county treasurer and taxpayer agree to a mutuallysatisfactory arrangement. Establishes a period during which a taxpayer failing tomake a payment under the arrangement may not enter into another arrangement.

Effective: Upon passage; January 1, 2012 (retroactive).

C. BILL TITLE

(1) Introduction

The rules of each chamber require each bill to contain a title that expresses the subject matter of the billin concise terms in order to acquaint the reader with the general subject matter under consideration. Thetitle should not state what the bill does but should provide a short, general statement of the subject matterof the bill. Follow the guidelines below when drafting a bill title.

(a) Usually, the title should be worded the same as the title of the Indiana Code being amended.

(b) Avoid using an Indiana Code title's name if the wording would be misleading to the reader.

For instance, if a bill amends Title 8 concerning transportation but nothing in the bill deals with utilities:

Don't Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning utilities andtransportation.

Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning transportation.

Acceptable bill titles include those listed below:

- child services- corrections- economic development- gaming- general provisions - health

- human services- income tax - local government - the lottery- Medicaid - military and veterans

- natural resources- pensions- property tax- trade- utilities

Page 49

(c) Avoid putting multiple subjects in the bill title.

(d) Avoid drafting a bill title too narrowly as a title amendment might be necessary if the bill is lateramended.

Don't Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning crimesinvolving the use of weapons in movie theaters.

Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning criminal lawand procedure.

(2) Amendment or Addition of Indiana Code

If the bill amends the Indiana Code by amending an Indiana Code provision or adding an Indiana Codeprovision, use the following form:

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning . . .

Example: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning natural andcultural resources.

The above form is also used if Noncode is added, amended, or repealed in the bill in addition to anyIndiana Code amendment being made.

(3) Amendment or Addition of Noncode Provisions

The title of a Noncode bill, which is a bill that contains only the amendment or addition of Noncodeprovisions, should appear as follows:

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT concerning . . .

Example: A BILL FOR AN ACT concerning natural and cultural resources.

If the bill amends only an existing Noncode act, use one of the following forms (See "Citations" under"SESSION LAWS", page 2):

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend Acts ___, c.___, s. ___, concerning . . .

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend Acts ___, P.L.___, SECTION ___,concerning . . .

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend P.L.___-20__, SECTION ___, concerning. . .

(4) Repeal of Indiana Code and Noncode Provisions

A repealer is not mentioned in the title, except when the sole purpose of a bill is to repeal existinglegislation (i.e., the bill does not contain any new Indiana Code provisions and does not containamendatory provisions). In that case, the title of the bill should recite the fact of the repeal and set forthwhat is repealed.

Page 50

Example: A BILL FOR AN ACT to repeal a provision of the Indiana Code concerningcivil procedure.

Example: A BILL FOR AN ACT to repeal certain provisions of the Indiana Codeconcerning local government.

If the bill only repeals a Noncode law, recite the fact of the repeal and set forth the area of law in whichtext is being repealed.

Example: A BILL FOR AN ACT to repeal a provision concerning elections.

(5) Appropriations

If the bill makes an appropriation of state funds, include that fact in the title.

Boilerplate: A BILL FOR AN ACT to . . . and to make an appropriation.

This also applies when the text of the bill reads "Money in the fund is continuously appropriated for...".

(6) Emergencies

An emergency is declared when a bill has an early effective date. If an emergency is declared, it is notnecessary to state that fact in the title. Article 4, Section 28 of the Constitution of the State of Indianaprovides that the emergency must be declared either in the preamble or in the body of the law to beeffective. Draft the declaration in the form of an emergency clause, added in the last SECTION of the bill.(See Emergency Clauses, page 100, and Early Effective Dates, page 102.)

D. BILL PREAMBLE (See also Purpose Provisions, page 62.)

Avoid the use of preambles. A preamble is similar to a Concurrent Resolution; that is, it is a statement thatdoes not have the effect of law but reflects the sentiment of the General Assembly at the time that it ispassed. A preamble is permitted only in the rare instance when there is a need to express the reasons forlegislation, the purpose of legislation, or findings related to legislation on the face of the bill itself. Thismaterial takes the form of "Whereas" clauses that are placed at the beginning of the bill following the titleand before the enacting clause. Since a preamble appears before the enacting clause, the preamble is notprinted as a part of the law in the Indiana Code but does appear in the session laws.

Boilerplate: Whereas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;Whereas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;Whereas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; andWhereas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Therefore,

The language of a preamble may be written in a less formal style than that required for legislativemeasures. However, adherence to the rules of grammar, spelling, and readability applies to all preambles. Keep each "Whereas" clause as concise as possible. Seek consistency throughout the text of the preamble.

See EXHIBIT 22, Noncode Bill with Preamble and Emergency Clause, page 184.

Page 51

E. BILL ENACTING CLAUSE

Each bill must contain the following standard enacting clause required by Article 4, Section 1 of theConstitution of the State of Indiana:

Boilerplate: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

F. LEAD-IN LINE

(1) Introduction

The body of a bill is divided into segments known as "SECTIONS". If a SECTION of a bill affects theIndiana Code, the SECTION must begin with a lead-in line, which identifies by Indiana Code citation thepart of the law being added or amended. This is followed by the content of the proposed law. Only onesection of an existing law may be amended in a single SECTION of a bill. However, if a new title, article,or chapter is being added, the entire title, article, or chapter should be put into one SECTION.

The following general rules apply to all lead-in lines:

(a) The entire lead-in line is in capital letters.

(b) A lead-in line to a section of the Indiana Code must include both the Indiana Code citation for thatsection and, if the section was added or has been amended after the last complete set of theIndiana Code was published in 2004, a designation of the act that added the section to the IndianaCode or that last amended the section. (See the Amendments to the Indiana Code examplesbelow.)

(c) The lead-in line must indicate in brackets when the affected SECTION is effective. (SeeEFFECTIVE DATES, page 102.)

Example: SECTION 1. IC 1-2-3-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

(2) Amendments to the Indiana Code

(a) To amend a section that was added or last amended in 2004 or earlier and not subsequentlyamended:

Example: SECTION 1. IC 16-1.2-4-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 1. ...

(b) To amend a section added after 2004:

Example: SECTION 3. IC 15-1-18-7, AS ADDED BY P.L.199-2005, SECTION 72,IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec.7. ...

(c) To amend a section amended after 2004:

Page 52

Example: SECTION 4. IC 7.1-1-13.5-8, AS AMENDED BY P.L.17-2012, SECTION4, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec.8. ...

Note that a colon must follow the effective date's closing bracket.

(See ALTERING PROVISIONS ADDED OR AMENDED EARLIER IN THE SAME SESSION, page 135, for a discussion of lead-in lines for a section previously added or amended during the samelegislative session.)

(3) Additions to the Indiana Code

For each new section, new chapter, new article, or new title added to the Indiana Code, a lead-in line isneeded as follows:

(a) To add a new section to a chapter:

Example: SECTION 1. IC 1-2-3-4 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWSECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

(b) To add a new chapter to an article:

Example: SECTION 2. IC 5-6-7 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWCHAPTER TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

(c) To add a new article to a title:

Example: SECTION 3. IC 8-9 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWARTICLE TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

(d) To add a new title to the Indiana Code:

Example: SECTION 4. IC 37 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWTITLE TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

Again, note that a colon must follow the effective date's closing bracket.

(4) Repealers

The lead-in line of a repealer states that a particular title, article, chapter, section, or Noncode SECTIONis being repealed and provides the effective date of the repeal. Before the 2012 legislative session, the textof a repealed provision was not set forth. The repeal procedure was changed to require that if a title,article, or chapter is to be repealed, the heading of the title, article, or chapter must be set forth. If a sectionor Noncode SECTION is to be repealed, the text of the section or SECTION must be set forth in its entiretyand shown in stricken text. (See REPEALERS, page 85, for more information and examples.)

(5) Noncode Provisions

Additions

Page 53

If a Noncode provision is being added, a lead-in line is not required because the provision does not amendthe Indiana Code.

Example: SECTION 7. [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2013] (a) The board...

Note that, unlike in Indiana Code provisions, a colon is not included after the effective date.

See EXHIBIT 17, Adding a Noncode SECTION, page 177.

Amendments

If a Noncode provision is being amended, one of the following lead-in lines is required to properly identifythe Noncode provision. The P.L. referred to in the lead-in line should be the last P.L. that amended theNoncode provision.

(a) For Noncode provisions in acts enacted beginning with the 1971 session:

Boilerplate: SECTION ___. P.L.__-20__, SECTION __, IS AMENDED TO READAS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE ____________]:

(b) For Noncode provisions in acts enacted before 1971:

Boilerplate: SECTION __. ACTS __, C.__, S.__, IS AMENDED TO READ ASFOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE ____________]:

See:EXHIBIT 16, Amendment of a Noncode Act, page 174.EXHIBIT 74, Determining the Latest Version of a Noncode Provision, page 292.

G. INDIANA CODE PROVISIONS GENERALLY

(1) Numbering System

(a) Sections

The first section to be added to a new chapter is numbered "1" and the remaining sections arenumbered consecutively. The only exceptions to this numbering scheme are found in the following:

(i) The fuel tax laws (IC 6-6).

(ii) First Lien Mortgage Lending (IC 24-4.4).

(iii) The Uniform Consumer Credit Code (IC 24-4.5).

(iv) Special Provisions Concerning Certain Transactions (IC 24-4.6).

(v) The Uniform Commercial Code (IC 26-1).

(vi) Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (IC 26-2-8).

Page 54

(vii) The local planning and zoning law (IC 36-7-4).

A decimal citation should be used only if it is clearly the best placement for understanding or whenadding a new term or definition to an existing list that is in alphabetical order.

(b) Chapters and Articles

As with sections, new articles and chapters are to be numbered consecutively, starting with "1". A newchapter or article having a decimal Indiana Code citation should be used only if it is clearly the bestplacement for understanding.

(c) Use of Repealed or Expired Sections, Chapters, Articles, and Titles

When a section, chapter, article, or title has been repealed or has expired, do not place new text at thatIndiana Code location.

(2) Headings

(a) Titles, Articles, Chapters

Title, article, and chapter headings are inserted by legislation. The heading should be as broad aspossible without being misleading. Avoid using misleading or stilted language, jargon, language thatmay be construed as one-sided or argumentative, and "popular" names. When it appears that a title,article, or chapter heading change is needed, contact the Office of Code Revision. IC 1-1-1-5(f)provides that title, article, and chapter headings are not a part of the law and may be changed by thelawful compilers to more accurately reflect the text.

Title and article headings should be added using all capital letters. A period should be placed after thetitle or article number.

Example: TITLE 37. SPACE EXPLORATION

Example: ARTICLE 11. CONSUMER LEGAL FUNDING

For chapter headings, capitalize the first letter of all significant words. Capitalize prepositions of fourletters or more. A period should be placed after the chapter number.

Example: Chapter 30. SNAP Assistance for Individuals With Drug Convictions

(b) Sections

Section headings are not to be used in bills, even when a new section is being added to a chapter thathas sections with existing headings. Furthermore, when an existing section that contains a heading isamended, the heading should be stricken, even in uniform laws.

Don't Say: SECTION 1. IC 15-19-7-4 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS ANEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec.4. Hindering performance of duty. A person who impedes, hinders, orotherwise obstructs the state chemist in performance of the state chemist'sduty...

Note: The headings in IC 36-7-4, the local planning and zoning law, are not section headings but relateto applicability. They should be stricken only when a change in applicability is desired. (SeeIC 36-7-4-101, IC 36-7-4-102, and IC 36-7-4-103.)

(3) Printing Style

(a) Amending a Section

When an existing section of the Indiana Code is amended, the latest version of text is set forth inregular roman type (roman type). Material to be deleted is stricken through (stricken type), andmaterial to be added is set in bold type (bold type). If multiple versions of a particular section existand are to be merged into a single version, the combined text is indicated in italics (italics).

See:EXHIBIT 3, Amendment by Adding New Language, page 158. EXHIBIT 4, Amendment by Striking Existing Language, page 159.EXHIBIT 5, Amendment by Combining Additions and Striking, page 160.EXHIBIT 6, Amendment by Adding a Subsection, page 161.

Page 56

(4) Internal References

(a) Internal References to Indiana Code Provisions

If one Indiana Code provision makes reference to another Indiana Code provision, the form specifiedin Chapter 1 (see "Citations" under "INDIANA CODE", page 1) is to be followed, except as follows:

(i) A reference to the title in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "this title".

Example: A board regulating a profession under this title may not require continuingeducation as a condition of certification.

(ii) A reference to the article in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thisarticle".

Example: "Committee" refers to a commission, a committee, or another body establishedunder this article.

(iii) A reference to the chapter in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thischapter".

Example: Sec. 1. This chapter applies only to a licensed psychologist who has receiveda health service provider endorsement.

(iv) A reference to the section in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thissection".

Example: (c) A proceeding under this section may be begun by filing a report with thecourt.

(v) A reference to the subsection in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thissubsection".

Example: (g) The department may contract with a person to conduct inspections to testthe emissions or emission control devices of motor vehicles. If inspections areconducted by a contractor under this subsection, the inspections shall beconducted under the direction of the department.

(vi) A reference to the subdivision in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thissubdivision".

Example: (1) The director shall appoint two (2) members to the board. Themembers appointed under this subdivision may not be members of thesame political party.

(vii) A reference to the clause in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "thisclause".

Example: (B) The commission may make a grant to an approved racetrack.The commission may make a grant under this clause only forpurses, promotions, and routine operations of the racetrack.

Page 57

(viii) A reference to the item in which the reference occurs should be expressed as "this item".

Example: (i) Fifty percent (50%) of the excess reserves shall betransferred to the pension plans of the state police andprosecuting attorneys. The funded amount for each plandescribed in this item is to be determined as of June 30 of theimmediately preceding year.

(ix) A reference to another section or sections in the same chapter should be expressed as"section __ of this chapter", "sections __ and __ of this chapter", or "sections__ through__ of this chapter".

Example: An applicant must pay the fees under section 5 of this chapter to be eligible fora license.

Example: The prevailing party is entitled to the remedies described in sections 4 and 6 ofthis chapter.

Example: An individual who satisfies the requirements of sections 1 through 3 of thischapter may take the examination.

Do not use the full Indiana Code citation of a section when the reference is to a section within thesame chapter.

For example, if IC 28-3-4-7 is drafted to require that a licensee must file a form underIC 28-3-4-5:

Don't Say: Sec. 7. A licensee must file the form under IC 28-3-4-5.

Say: Sec. 7. A licensee must file the form under section 5 of this chapter.

However, any reference to a chapter within the same article, or to an article within the same title,should be made using the full Indiana Code citation.

For example, if IC 7.1-6-7-2 requires that an applicant follow a procedure outlined in IC 7.1-6-8:

Don't Say: Sec. 2. The applicant must follow the procedure outlined in chapter 8 ofthis article.

Say: Sec. 2. The applicant must follow the procedure outlined in IC 7.1-6-8.

Likewise, if IC 5-26-2-10 provides that a commission is subject to the procurement proceduresunder IC 5-22:

Don't Say: Sec. 10. The commission is subject to the procurement procedures underarticle 22 of this title.

Say: Sec. 10. The commission is subject to the procurement procedures underIC 5-22.

Page 58

(x) A reference to a specific subsection in the same section should be expressed, for example,as "subsection (a)" or "subsections (a) through (d)". See the "multiple subsections in thesame section" entry below for additional information and examples.

Example: (a) A person with a temporary permit issued under subsection (b)(3) mayengage in the practice of occupational therapy.

Example: (d) The property referred to in subsections (e) through (g) is not subject tolevy.

(xi) A reference to a specific subsection in the same chapter but not in the same sectionshould be cited as, for example, "section 5(b) of this chapter".

Example: Sec. 1. A grant under section 5(b) of this chapter must be matched by anequal amount of money from sources other than the state.

(xii) A reference to two subsections in the same section but not in the section containing thereference should be cited as, for example, "section 5(b) and 5(c) of this chapter".

Example: Sec. 6. When a provider provides additional forensic services under section5(b) and 5(c) of this chapter, the provider shall furnish the services withoutcharge.

(xiii) In referencing multiple subsections in the same section, whether the term "subsection"is singular or plural depends on the conjunction used.

When "and" is used, the term is plural.

Example: Subsections (a) and (b) do not apply to real property that is owned by the state.

When "through" is used, the term is plural.

Example: Subsections (a) through (c) do not apply to real property that is owned by thestate.

When "or" is used, the term is singular.

Example: A child may qualify for a benefit under subsection (a) or (b).

However, if different subdivisions are referred to within the same subsection, the drafting attorneyshould use the SINGULAR because it is the same subsection.

Example: (d) The fund may not be used for any purpose under subsection (a)(1) and(a)(3).

Example: (b) The fee must be paid by an applicant listed in subsection (a)(1) through(a)(3).

(xiv) If a statute refers, by citation, to a group of provisions in a different Indiana Code unit,the references should be cited as follows:

Page 59

For a group of titles, cite as "IC 2 through IC 6".

For a group of articles, cite as "IC 2-3 through IC 2-5".

For a group of chapters, cite as "IC 5-4-7 through IC 5-4-8".

For a group of sections, cite as "IC 5-4-3-2 through IC 5-4-3-9".

For a group of subsections, cite as "IC 5-4-3-7(a) through IC 5-4-3-7(c)".

For information concerning internal references to Noncode SECTIONS, see Internal Referencesto Noncode Provisions, page 91.

(b) A Note Concerning the Use of "And" and "Through" in Internal References

Several explanations and examples provided in the section above reference the use of the terms "and"and "through" in specific contexts. The following guidelines provide additional direction indetermining the appropriate term:

Use "and" when referencing only two sections, subsections, subdivisions, clauses, or items.

Example: A person must pay the taxes described in sections 2 and 3 of this chapter.

Use "through" when referencing more than two sections, subsections, subdivisions, clauses, oritems that appear consecutively.

Example: The affected agencies are the agencies listed in subdivisions (3) through (5).

Use "and"when referencing more than two sections, subsections, subdivisions, clauses, or itemsthat do not appear consecutively.

Example: The voting members are the members described in subdivisions (1), (4), (9), and(10).

(c) Confusing References to Statutes

Existing references to "the preceding section", "the next section", "the following section", "above","below", "herein", "hereinafter", "therein", or "hereinbefore" must be clarified by replacing thereference with the corresponding Indiana Code citation.

(d) "IC 1971" References

A reference to "IC 1971," should be dealt with by striking "1971,". The "1971," reference has beensuperseded.

Example: The exemption does not apply unless the association is organized underIC 1971, 15-1-3.

(e) Internal References to Effective Dates

Page 60

An internal reference to an effective date of an Indiana statute, usually in the form of "the effective date ofthis chapter", should be stricken if obsolete. Otherwise, it must be replaced with a specific date as follows:

(i) If an act has a specific effective date, substitute that date for the reference.

(ii) If an act declares an emergency and provides that it takes effect upon passage, insert the approvaldate, which is found in the Acts after the chapter or public law number.

(iii) For an act passed beginning in 1852 and through 1978, if the act contains no emergency clause orspecific effective date, use the promulgation date for that year's laws. The promulgation dates forthe acts are listed in the prefatory pages of the Indiana Code volume containing Title 1, or in thefirst volume of each year's supplement.

(iv) For an act passed beginning in 1852 and through 1978, if there is no declaration of emergency andthe specific effective date is before promulgation, insert the promulgation date for that year (Article4, Section 28 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana).

(v) For an act passed during or after 1979, see EFFECTIVE DATES, page 102.

If the occasion arises for using an effective date reference in an Indiana Code provision, do not use thephrase "upon the effective date of this act". Instead, insert a definite date reference, unless the provision goesinto effect upon passage.

(f) Confusing Internal References to Effective Dates

The words "now", "existing", "present", "currently", "already", "heretofore", and "hereafter" are inherentlyambiguous in statutes, though they usually relate to the time when the provision took effect. These wordsshould be either replaced by a definite date reference or eliminated.

(g) Internal References to Federal Statutes

When citing to a federal law, use the United States Code reference. If it is useful for understanding, the shorttitle of the federal act may be used.

Example: 16 U.S.C. 201

Example: federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.)

Convert federal Public Law numbers and references to the Statutes at Large to U.S.C. references whenfound in existing statutes. If there is no U.S.C. citation, use the Public Law designation with the designationfrom the Statutes at Large.

Example: P.L.85-864 (64 Stat. 514)

Avoid referring to a federal law "as amended". One way to avoid doing so is to refer to the law as in effecton a date certain. (See IC 3-5-4-7 and IC 6-3-1-11.)

(h) Internal References to Federal Regulations

When citing to a federal regulation, use the Code of Federal Regulations reference.

Page 61

Example: 24 CFR 201

(i) Internal References to Indiana Agency Rules

When citing to an Indiana administrative rule, use the Indiana Administrative Code reference.

Example: 310 IAC 2-18-1

When citing to an Indiana administrative rule not in the Indiana Administrative Code, use the IndianaRegister reference. (See "Citations" under "INDIANA REGISTER", page 3.)

Use the following style to reference Indiana Register documents published before July 1, 2006:

Example: 5 IR 1000

Use the following style to reference Indiana Register documents published on or after July 1, 2006:

Example: 20130726-IR-317130265FR

(j) Internal References Within the UCC, UCCC, and Certain Model and Uniform Acts andCompacts

The form of internal references specified in Chapter 1 (see "Citations" under "INDIANA CODE", page1) is not ordinarily used in the Uniform Commercial Code (IC 26-1), Uniform Consumer Credit Code(IC 24-4.5), state compacts, and certain model and uniform acts. Contact the Office of Code Revision forguidelines on the proper citation format in these statutes.

(k) Other Internal References

Refer to the latest edition of A Uniform System of Citation (also known as The Bluebook) for other internalreference citations. The Bluebook is available in the Indiana Supreme Court Law Library.

H. SPECIFIC TYPES OF INDIANA CODE PROVISIONS

Consider the factors set forth under NONCODE PROVISIONS GENERALLY, page 90, and SPECIFICTYPES OF NONCODE PROVISIONS, page 92, in deciding whether to place the provision in the IndianaCode or to draft the provision as a Noncode statute.

(1) Short Titles

Short titles are not to be used except for short titles included in uniform laws drafted by the Conference ofCommissioners on Uniform State Laws.

(2) Purpose Provisions (See also BILL PREAMBLE, page 51.)

A well-drafted act requires no statement of what it seeks to accomplish or the reasons prompting its enactment.In general, do not include language stating the purpose of an act or reciting the facts upon which an act ispredicated unless the included language would be useful in upholding the act against constitutional attack or isnecessary to give meaning to a provision for liberal construction. Note that problems can arise if a purpose

Page 62

provision conflicts with other parts of the statute.

(3) Applicability Provisions

An applicability provision is used to specify the persons, things, or occurrences to which the statute applies orto limit the time frame to which the statute applies.

Example: This chapter applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013, and endingbefore January 1, 2015.

Do not use an applicability provision for a criminal law statute unless there is a specific need for one. (SeeCriminal and Civil Penalties, page 67.)

Do not use definitions to limit a statute's application when a substantive statement in an applicability provisionwould be clearer.

An applicability provision should be placed at the beginning of a title, article, section, or subsection, rather thanat the end.

(4) Definitions

(a) Indiana Code Definitions and Construction Provisions

IC 1-1-4 contains a list of definitions and construction provisions that apply to all Indiana Code provisionsand incorporates by reference the criminal law definitions set forth in IC 35-31.5. (See IC 1-1-4-5(30).) Avoid defining these terms differently in other parts of the Indiana Code.

(b) Definition Usage Rules

Use definitions only:

(i) when a word is used in the sense of one of several dictionary meanings or is used in a technicalmanner;

(ii) to avoid repetition of a lengthy phrase; or

(iii) to limit or extend the meaning of a word for the provisions of the statute.

Practices to Avoid:

(a) Do not write substantive or applicability provisions into definitions.

Example: "Applicant" means an individual who:(1) applies for a license from the department;(2) has at least twenty (20) hours training at an accredited school;(3) has at least twenty (20) hours of clinical experience; and(4) pays the prescribed fee.

Explanation: The definition should have stopped with subdivision (1)—i.e., "Applicant" means an individual who applies for a license from the department. Subdivisions (2), (3), and (4) are

Page 63

substantive requirements that should be addressed separately as conditions of licensure.

(b) Do not use a word in a sense foreign to a dictionary meaning.

Example: "Wheat" means wheat, rye, and barley.

(c) Do not develop and use an artificial concept.

Example: See Acts 1967, Ch. 283, SEC.2, in which the concept of "local time" is developed.

(d) Do not use a definition if the defined term is used once or very few times.

(e) Do not define a particular word or phrase but use a variation of it in the text.

(c) Definition Form Generally

Use quotation marks and the following style when defining a term:

(i) Use "means" to indicate that there is an exact equivalency between the defined term and thedescription.

Example: Sec. 1. "Executive" means the mayor of a city.

(ii) Use "includes" to indicate items that are marginally included within a nonexhaustive definition.

Example: Sec. 2. "License" includes a permit.

Avoid the phrase "includes but is not limited to". "Includes" is used in a nonexhaustive definition. Use ofthe phrase "includes but is not limited to" in this context is redundant. The phrase is typically seen whena subject is first described generically and then several examples are added to illustrate the generaldescription, which avoids the application of the legal concept "eiusdem generis".

Example: The committee shall study all topics relating to widgets, including, but not limited to,the following:

(1) The design of widgets.(2) The manufacture of widgets.(3) The marketing of widgets.(4) The sale of widgets.(5) The use of widgets.

Use of the phrase "includes but is not limited to" can be obviated by inverting the order of thedescription, as follows:

The committee shall study the following:(1) The design of widgets.(2) The manufacture of widgets.(3) The marketing of widgets.(4) The sale of widgets.(5) The use of widgets.(6) Any other topic the committee considers necessary to understand widgets.

Page 64

This formulation retains the identification of the specific topics that the committee is to study andalso expresses explicitly the intent that the committee is authorized to study other necessary relatedtopics. This renders the "includes but is not limited to" phrase unnecessary.

(iii) Use "refers to" when adopting a shortened version of a term for use throughout a statute.

Example: Sec. 3. "Population" refers to the population according to the most recent federalspecial or decennial census.

Example: Sec. 1. This chapter applies to Boone, Johnson, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks,Morgan, and Shelby counties (referred to as counties in this chapter) and to the citiesor towns of Carmel, Fishers, Greenfield, Lebanon, Noblesville, Westfield, andZionsville that are located in those counties (referred to as municipalities in thischapter).

(iv) Use "has the meaning set forth in IC . . ." or "(as defined in IC . . .)" to reference an existingdefinition.

Example: "Products" has the meaning set forth in IC 6-1.1-3-13.

Example: The form may be distributed to any agency (as defined in IC 2-5-21-1).

(v) The elements of a definition may be tabulated.

Example: "Child" of an individual refers to any of the following:(1) A natural child of the individual.(2) A child of the individual's spouse.(3) An adopted child of the individual.

Example: "Assist" means to:(A) help; or(B) aid;

a person.

(d) Definition Form in New Articles

When adding a new article, put the definitions for that article in one chapter with each definition in aseparate section in alphabetical order. The first section in the definitions chapter should be an applicabilitysection.

Each definition section should begin with the defined term.

Example: ARTICLE 1. LOBBYISTSChapter 1. DefinitionsSec. 1. The definitions in this chapter apply throughout this article.Sec. 2. "Activity report" means the activity report required by the board

under IC 2-7-3.4-8.Sec. 3. "Candidate" refers to a candidate for election to the general

assembly.Chapter 2. Registration Statements

Page 65

Sec. 1. (a) Each lobbyist shall file annually with the commission aregistration statement under oath accompanied by the registration fee requiredby this section.

(b) . . .

(e) Definition Form in New Chapters

When adding a new chapter, put each of the definitions for that chapter in separate sections at the beginningof the chapter in alphabetical order. Each definition section should begin with a statement of applicability.

Example: Chapter 3. Continuing EducationSec. 1. As used in this chapter, "continuing education course" means

instruction designed to directly enhance the knowledge and skill of a dentalhygienist.

Sec. 2. As used in this chapter, "license period" means the two (2) yearperiod during which a dental hygienist's license is valid.

Sec. 3. A dental hygienist must complete at least fourteen (14) credit hoursin continuing education courses each license period.

(f) Definition Form in New Sections

When adding a new section, put each of the definitions for that section in separate subsections at thebeginning of the section in alphabetical order. Each definition subsection should begin with a statement ofapplicability.

Example: Sec. 3. (a) As used in this section, "licensee" refers to an individual who islicensed or certified as set forth in section 2 of this chapter.

(b) As used in this section, "personal information" means publicinformation that identifies an individual, including the individual's name,address, and telephone number.

(c) The licensing agency shall report the personal information of a licenseeto the state department.

A listing format can also be used to list the section's definitions in a single subsection.

Example: Sec. 3. (a) The following definitions apply throughout this section:(1) "Licensee" refers to an individual who is licensed or certified as setforth in section 2 of this chapter.(2) "Personal information" means public information that identifiesan individual, including the individual's name, address, and telephonenumber.

(b) The licensing agency shall report the personal information of a licenseeto the state department.

(g) Definition Form in Existing Articles, Chapters, and Sections

When it is necessary to add a new definition to an existing chapter or article, the manner in which thedefinition is added will depend upon the definitions style that is used in that chapter or article. The sameis true when adding definitions to an existing section.

(h) Definitions in New and Recodified Titles

Page 66

When adding a new title or recodifying an existing title, all definitions used in the title should be insertedin alphabetical order in a chapter at the beginning of the title. Definitions should not be inserted throughoutthe rest of the title.

Definitions in Certain Recodified Titles

Recodified titles include Titles 3, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 31, 32, 33, and 34. These titles have allbeen recodified under the supervision of the Code Revision Commission. The Code Revision Commissionhas varied the format slightly for definitions in recodified titles over the years.

In Titles 3, 13, 31, and 34, all definitions should be placed in the general definitions chapter at thebeginning of the title and not in the chapter in which the definition applies.

In Titles 9, 12, 14, and 16, the definitions should be placed in the general definitions at the beginning of thetitle if the definition is used in more than one chapter. If the definition is used in only one chapter, thedefinition should be placed in that chapter, and a reference to the definition should be placed in the generaldefinitions chapter in the beginning of the title. (For an example of a definition used in only one chapter,see IC 16-18-2-15.)

In Titles 10, 20, and 32, definitions are found in the article or chapter in which they are used.

In Title 33, there are some title-wide definitions. However, most Title 33 definitions are found in the articleor chapter in which they are used.

Adding a Definition to a Recodified/Revised Title (Title 3, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 31, 32, 33,or 34)

The new definition should be added in alphabetical order in the appropriate location, as a decimal pointsection if necessary.

(5) Creation of Agency, Board, Commission, or Office

Use simple language in the present tense to create or establish an agency, board, commission, or office. Ifthe entity is to have a short duration, draft the language as a Noncode provision. (See SPECIFIC TYPESOF NONCODE PROVISIONS, page 92.)

Sample Boilerplate: The office of _____________ is established in the department of_____________.

Example: The state recount commission is established.

Example: There is established within the Indiana finance authority a clean coaltechnology program.

(6) Criminal and Civil Penalties

(a) Crimes

Felonies and misdemeanors constitute crimes under Indiana law and must be proven beyond a reasonabledoubt. Crimes carry a potential penalty of imprisonment. Article 8, Section 2 of the Constitution of the State

Page 67

of Indiana requires any fines imposed on persons convicted of crimes must be deposited in the commonschool fund.

IC 35-50-2 describes the four classes of felonies, and IC 35-50-3 describes the three classes ofmisdemeanors. All criminal offenses should be classified into one of these statutory classes. (See EXHIBIT81, Criminal Penalty Chart, page 312.) Note: This chart is updated every few years, and it may have beenrevised since the publication of this Drafting Manual.

When listing applicable classes, repeat the word "Class".

Example: Arson (IC 35-43-1-1) as a Class A or Class B felony.

Ordinarily, a culpability standard describing the mental state of the individual should be included in theprovision defining a crime. The standards recognized in Indiana are "intentionally", "knowingly", and"recklessly". (See IC 35-41-2-2 for descriptions of these standards.)

Avoid including an applicability provision for a criminal statute unless there is a specific need to includethe provision. For example, don't say: "Sec. 0.1. The amendments made to section 3 of this chapter bylegislation enacted in the 2013 regular session of the General Assembly apply only to crimes committedafter June 30, 2013." This type of applicability provision simply states the obvious, i.e., that criminal lawstatutes cannot be ex post facto laws.

IC 35-51 is composed of lists of criminal statutes codified outside Title 35, with each Indiana Code titlehaving its own chapter. It is not an exhaustive compilation of all criminal statutes codified outside that title,as other criminal statutes may be found throughout the Indiana Code, but it is useful to the LegislativeServices Agency and to outside agencies to catalog the statutes.

If a new criminal provision is drafted outside Title 35, amend the appropriate IC 35-51 chapter to add thenew provision's cite and include a general description of the person, entity, or concept to which it relates. The lists are not numbered. Additions should be placed in Indiana Code cite order.

For example, assume that a bill establishes a Class C misdemeanor in IC 12-13-14-4.5(c) concerningrestricted access to cash assistance benefits at certain ATMs and point of sale terminals. IC 35-51-12contains the list of Title 12 statutes containing criminal provisions, so in the same bill, IC 35-51-12-1should be amended to add the provision to the list of crimes for Title 12, as shown below:

Sec. 1. The following statutes define crimes in IC 12:IC 12-10-13-20 (Concerning long term care ombudsman program).IC 12-11-13-16 (Concerning statewide waiver ombudsman).IC 12-13-14-4.5 (Concerning electronic benefits transfer).IC 12-14-22-8 (Concerning family assistance services).

Likewise, if a criminal statute outside Title 35 is repealed, amend IC 35-51 to remove the repealed statutefrom the list.

(b) Civil Violations

Infractions and ordinance violations constitute civil violations. They are not criminal offenses (for whicha person can be imprisoned). Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is not required for infractions. Infractionsare defined by state statutes, while ordinance violations are defined by local government ordinances. The

Page 68

procedures governing civil violations are set forth in IC 34-28-5.

Infractions

There are four classes of infractions (see IC 34-28-5), and the amounts collected as judgments for violationsof statutes defining infractions are deposited in the state general fund (unless provided otherwise). Do notdraft provisions describing a violation of a local ordinance as an infraction, since infractions carry statepenalties.

Ordinance Violations

Counties, cities, towns, and some other local governmental entities, such as hospital corporations andairport authorities, have the power to provide penalties for violation of their own ordinances. Counties,cities, and towns are limited in this area by IC 36-1-3-8. Do not include a specific penalty for violating alocal ordinance in a statute. The local entity should provide penalties for violations in its own ordinances,and these ordinances should specify the fund in which fines should be deposited.

Mens Rea

There is no mens rea requirement for an infraction. In other words, a culpability standard describing themental state a person must have had to commit the crime (knowingly, intentionally, recklessly) is notrequired.

Immunity and Limited Immunity from Civil Liability

IC 34-30 is the Indiana Code's main repository for statutes granting immunity from civil liability, andIC 34-31 catalogs statutes granting limited immunity from civil liability. Lists of specific statutes grantingimmunity and limited immunity but codified outside Title 34 are listed in IC 34-30-2 and IC 34-31-2,respectively. Neither is an exhaustive compilation of all such provisions in the Indiana Code, but it is usefulto the Legislative Services Agency and to outside agencies to catalog these statutes.

If a new immunity or limited immunity provision is drafted outside Title 34, add an entry to thecorresponding chapter— i.e., IC 34-30-2 for immunity and IC 34-31-2 for limited immunity. Draft a newsection that references the cite and includes a general description of the concept to which the immunityrelates. Add the section to the chapter based on the Indiana Code cite order of the existing entries, using adecimal if necessary.

For example: Assume that IC 5-2-17-8(b) is drafted in a bill concerning missing persons and thatit states the following:

(b) A health care provider that discloses information in good faith under subsection (a)is immune from civil liability for disclosing the information. This subsection does not applyto an act or omission constituting gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.

Because the provision grants immunity, a new section should be added in the same bill atIC 34-30--2-11.5 to catalog the immunity, as shown below:

Sec. 11.5. IC 5-2-17-8 (Concerning health care providers for disclosure of dental recordsor skeletal x-rays to a law enforcement agency).

Page 69

(c) Form Generally

Properly drafted felony, misdemeanor, and infraction provisions are shown by the following examples:

Example: A person who recklessly kills another human being commits reckless homicide, aClass D felony.

Example: A person who knowingly serves as a member of a precinct election board in violationof IC 3-6-6-10 commits a Class A misdemeanor.

Example: A person operating a vehicle who fails to dim bright or blinding lights when meetinganother vehicle or pedestrian commits a Class B infraction.

(d) Do Not Criminalize Violation of Entire Chapter, Article, or Title

In drafting criminal statutes, identify each provision that should have a criminal penalty rather than citingto the entire chapter, article, or title. General penalty provisions may produce unintended results, such asthe provision being struck down for being overly broad or vague.

Don't Say: A violation of this chapter is a Class B misdemeanor.

OR

A violation of this article is a Class D felony.

Say: Sec. 14. A person who knowingly violates section 10 or 12 of this chaptercommits a Class C misdemeanor.

(e) Effective Date of Criminal Laws

Criminal law provisions should not be given an "upon passage" effective date. It does not provide sufficientnotice.

A criminal law may not be made to take effect retroactively. (See Article 1, Section 24 of the Constitutionof the State of Indiana.)

(7) Population Parameters

A population parameter is a description of a political subdivision, class of political subdivisions, or othergeographic region using the population of the political subdivision, class of political subdivisions, or geographicregion.

Population parameters are typically used to limit the application of a statute either to:

(a) a class of political subdivisions based on population; or

(b) one or more specific political subdivisions.

Example: a city having a population of more than thirty-five thousand (35,000) but less than sixhundred thousand (600,000)

Page 70

The description above currently describes several Indiana cities, known as "second class cities".

Example: a county having a population of more than four hundred thousand (400,000) but lessthan seven hundred thousand (700,000)

The description above currently describes Lake County.

In statutes similar to those using population parameters as illustrated in the second case, population parametershave been used as a way to ensure that the courts would find the limitation of the statute constitutional underArticle 4, Sections 22 and 23 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana concerning special and local legislation.In recent years, the courts have ruled that the use of population parameters does not ensure that a statute limitedin its application conforms with Article 4, Sections 22 and 23. When drafting legislation, the application ofwhich will be limited to one or more specific political subdivisions, carefully consider whether to use the namesof the political subdivisions or their population parameters, and talk to the author and determine how the authorwould like to have the text presented in the bill. Whether the name of a political subdivision or the politicalsubdivision's population parameter is used in legislation to be limited to the political subdivision, consider anddiscuss with the author whether the bill should be drafted to include findings to justify limitation of the law forthe situation the law addresses. However, note that Article 4, Section 22 absolutely prohibits use of local orspecial legislation under circumstances described in that Section; legislative findings will not immunize a statutefrom challenges under that Section.

When using a population parameter, the drafting attorney must take great care to ensure that the populationparameters are the most current parameters. The drafting attorney should not rely on population figurescontained in outside drafts. Note that rapidly growing areas are often subject to a special census. (SeeIC 1-1-3.5.)

(8) Appropriation Provisions

There are two types of appropriations, continuing and temporary. Both types of appropriations should bereflected in the title of the bill.

(a) Continuing

A continuing appropriation is an annual and continuing appropriation. This type of appropriation shouldbe drafted as an Indiana Code provision.

The General Assembly usually likes to retain control over agencies through the appropriations process and,therefore, does not want legislation that annually appropriates money without an affirmative legislative act.However, the General Assembly will occasionally want to provide an ongoing appropriation known as acontinuing appropriation. If properly drafted, a continuing appropriation appropriates money to an agencywithout further action by the General Assembly. Of course, the General Assembly can always change itsmind and remove the continuing appropriation language or supersede it in a budget act. A continuingappropriation is drafted as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. There is annually appropriated to [1] [2] from [3] for its use in[4].

Explanation:

[1] Insert the full statutory title of the agency to receive the funds.

Page 71

[2] Insert the amount of money to be appropriated. If there is no definite dollar amount, insert:

(A) the method to be used to compute the maximum possible amount of the appropriation;

or

(B) language that expresses the idea that an amount is appropriated sufficient to carry out thepurposes for which the funds are appropriated. (See IC 5-10.4-6-1.)

[3] Insert the source of the money, such as "the state general fund".

[4] Insert the purposes for which the funds are to be used. This purpose may be expressed ingeneral terms such as "carrying out the purposes of this chapter".

Don't Say: The general assembly shall appropriate . . .

OR

The general assembly may appropriate . . .

These phrases are significant only to the extent that they indicate the present intent of the General Assemblyas to future funding. Since one General Assembly cannot bind another, these phrases do not themselvesprovide for funding.

Appropriations Covering a Period of More than Two Years

If an appropriation is to cover a period of more than two years but it is not a continuing appropriation,it should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision and include an expiration date.

Example: SECTION 1. IC 15-17.5-13-4 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS ANEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 4.(a) There is appropriated to the livestock program fund established undersection 2 of this chapter four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) from thestate general fund for its use in carrying out the purposes of the fund.

(b) This section expires June 30, 2018.

(b) Temporary

A temporary appropriation is for a specific period not to exceed two years. This type of appropriation shouldbe drafted as a Noncode provision. (See SPECIFIC TYPES OF NONCODE PROVISIONS, page 92.)

(9) Funds

A fund is a sum of money segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certainobjectives. Because the budget agency usually treats a fund as an account and financial statements consolidatethem with other general fund money, a fund is rarely needed. (See the fuller discussion of this point underAccounts, page 74.) If it is necessary to establish a fund, the following form sets forth the issues that should beconsidered:

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. (a) The [1] is established for the purpose of [2]. The fund shall

Page 72

be administered by [3].(b) The fund consists of [4].(c) The expenses of administering the fund shall be paid from money in

the fund. [5](d) The treasurer of state shall invest the money in the fund not

currently needed to meet the obligations of the fund in the same manner asother public money may be invested. Interest that accrues from theseinvestments shall be deposited in the fund. [6]

(e) Money in the fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert tothe state general fund. [7] However, if the amount of money in the fund atthe end of a particular fiscal year exceeds [8], the treasurer shall transferthe excess from the fund into the [9].

Explanation:

[1] Insert the name of the fund.

[2] Insert the purpose of the fund, such as to:

(A) receive taxes or other revenues for specific uses;

(B) provide for the distribution of money or the provision of services; or

(C) receive, hold, and disburse money as a fiduciary.

[3] Insert the name of the entity that is to administer the fund.

[4] Insert the source of money in the fund [appropriations from the General Assembly, gifts, and grantsto the fund, etc.].

[5] This is an optional provision. Its use should be discussed with the author.

[6] This is an optional provision that should be used only in the case of trust funds, where specificallyrequested by the legislator, or where required by federal law.

[7] If this language does not appear, the money remaining in the fund at the end of a state fiscal yearautomatically reverts to the state general fund if the money was originally appropriated from thestate general fund (IC 4-13-2-19).

[8] This is an optional "scrape-off" or "spill-over" provision. Insert the dollar amount over which thefund should not grow.

[9] If an optional "scrape-off" provision is used, insert the name of the fund into which the excessmoney is to be deposited.

Keep in mind that merely establishing a new fund does not permit an agency to actually spend the money in thefund: an appropriation is also required before the money can be spent. (See Article 10, Section 3 of theConstitution of the State of Indiana.) (See also Appropriation Provisions, page 71.)

Avoid naming a fund as a "trust" fund. The state board of finance is authorized to transfer money between

Page 73

various state funds. However, the authority to make these transfers does not apply to "trust funds". (SeeIC 4-9.1-1-7.) A fund that is named as such but that is established using the boilerplate language createsconfusion as to whether the fund truly is a trust fund held for special purpose or whether the money within issubject to the powers of the state board of finance.

(10) Accounts

Only major funds are reported separately in the Auditor of State's annual financial statement, with all other fundscombined into a single column. As a result, establishment of an account within the general fund or anotherexisting fund, rather than the establishment of a separate fund, is the preferred drafting style, particularly whendealing with less than 5% to 10% of the budget. Because each account within a fund maintains a separatebalance, creation of an account within a fund rather than a separate fund will usually meet a legislator's needs.An exception to the general rule exists when there is a need for a strong audit trail to track receipts anddisbursements, such as a legal requirement imposed by the federal government. Similarly, money flowingthrough a proprietary fund (a fund used to account for a government's ongoing organizations and activities thatare similar to those often found in the private sector) or a fiduciary fund (a fund used to account for assets heldby a government in a trustee capacity or as an agency for individuals, private organizations, or othergovernmental units) would not be commingled with the accounts in the general fund or another governmentaltype fund.

An account is a subset of a fund. It can be established within a specific fund or within the state general fund.To establish an account, use the following form:

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. 1. (a) The [1] is established within the [2] fund to [3]. The accountshall be administered by [4].

(b) The account consists of [5].(c) Money in the account is continuously appropriated for purposes of

this section. [6](d) The [7] shall annually prepare a plan for the expenditure of the

money in the account.(e) Money in the account may be spent for [8].(f) The expenses of administering the account shall be paid from money

in the account. [9](g) The treasurer of state shall invest the money in the account not

currently needed to meet the obligations of the account in the same manneras other public money may be invested. [10]

(h) Money that is in the account at the end of a state fiscal year does notrevert to the state general fund. [11]

Explanation:

[1] Insert the name of the account.

[2] Insert the name of the fund in which the account is established.

[3] Insert the purpose of the account.

[4] Insert the name of the entity that is to administer the account.

[5] Insert the source of money in the account.

Page 74


[7] If a plan is to be prepared for the account, insert the name of the entity creating the plan.

[8] Insert, if applicable, specific uses for the account.


[10] This is an optional provision that should be used only when specifically requested by the legislator or where required by federal law.

[11] If this language does not appear, the money remaining in the fund at the end of a state fiscal year automatically reverts to the state general fund if the money was originally appropriated from the state general fund (IC 4-13-2-19).

Note: Some of the provisions included in the boilerplate language above are not necessary if the fund withinwhich the account is created contains a provision encompassed by the fund's establishing language.

Merely establishing a new account does not permit an agency to actually spend the money in the account: anappropriation is also required before the money can be spent. (See Article 10, Section 3 of the Constitution ofthe State of Indiana.)

Provisions that transfer money from one account or fund to another or that otherwise specify the procedures forclosing an account should be drafted as Noncode provisions. (See Transferring Money and ClosingAccounts, page 93.)

(11) Legislative Oversight

The budget committee, which consists primarily of legislators, cannot "approve" executive branch actionsbecause of separation of powers considerations, but it can "review" and "recommend" executive branch actions. For instance, see IC 4-12-5-4 and IC 4-13.5-.5-12.

In budgetary matters, if oversight by the budget committee is desired, the drafting attorney should use languagesimilar to that found in the following statutes, because of separation of powers considerations: IC 4-34-3-2(c);IC 4-34-3-4; IC 5-10.4-2-5; IC 6-3.1-15-17; IC 36-7-31-12.

(12) Executive Branch Committees and Commissions: Travel Expenses, Per Diem, Membership, Voting

Practices, and Other Procedural Matters

When establishing an executive branch committee or commission, the drafting attorney must determine what,if any, per diem is to be provided to the members. In addition, because of separation of powers considerations,legislative members on executive branch committees should be nonvoting members. However, legislators mayvote if the committee's function is purely advisory. It is also important to specify who appoints which members.

Discuss with the author any requirement that the Governor select appointees from a list of nominees submittedby a private organization. Some administrations have taken the position that such a provision isunconstitutional.

The following language should be used for a committee, commission, or task force that will be controlled by theexecutive branch. Note that the following boilerplate language is drafted assuming the establishment of an

Page 75

executive branch committee. (Note: Delete inappropriate sections.)

Sample Boilerplate: Chapter __. [Name of Entity]Sec. 1. As used in this chapter, "[committee]" refers to the [insert name

of [committee].Sec. 2. There is established the [insert name of entity] [committee] on

[insert subject matter]. The [committee] consists of the following members:(1) . . . .(2) . . . . (et cetera)

Sec. 3. [Insert appointing authority] shall appoint [insert memberdesignated as chairperson] the chairperson of the [committee].

Sec. 4. The [committee] shall [insert the [committee's] duties].Sec. 5. The [insert entity that will provide staffing] shall staff the[committee].Sec. 6. The expenses of the [committee] shall be paid from [insert fund

or other source of payment].Sec. 7. Each member of the [committee] who is not a state employee is

[is not] entitled to the minimum salary per diem provided byIC 4-10-11-2.1(b). The member is also [is, however,] entitled toreimbursement for traveling expenses as provided under IC 4-13-1-4 andother expenses actually incurred in connection with the member's duties asprovided in the state policies and procedures established by the Indianadepartment of administration and approved by the budget agency.

Sec. 8. Each member of the [committee] who is a state employee [butwho is not a member of the general assembly] is entitled to reimbursementfor traveling expenses as provided under IC 4-13-1-4 and other expensesactually incurred in connection with the member's duties as provided in thestate policies and procedures established by the Indiana department ofadministration and approved by the budget agency.

Sec. 9. Each member of the [committee] who is a member of thegeneral assembly is entitled to receive the same per diem, mileage, andtravel allowances paid to legislative members of interim study committeesestablished by the legislative council. Per diem, mileage, and travelallowances paid under this section shall be paid from appropriations madeto the legislative council or the legislative services agency.

Sec. 10. Each member of the [committee] who is a member of thegeneral assembly is a nonvoting member.

Sec. 11. The affirmative votes of a majority of the voting membersappointed to the [committee] are required for the [committee] to takeaction on any measure, including final reports.

[Sec. 12. This chapter expires [insert expiration date].]

See EXHIBIT 25, Indiana Code Act Establishing an Executive Branch Committee, page 190.

(13) Legislative Committees and Commissions: Travel Expenses, Per Diem, Membership, Voting Practices and Other Procedural Matters

IC 2-5 is the repository for the establishment of and provisions concerning most legislative study commissions,committees, task forces, and other such entities. IC 2-5-1.2 provides for the rules governing the entities createdunder IC 2-5, and each entity established is provided its own chapter within the article.

Page 76

Each year the Legislative Council establishes the procedures, if not otherwise provided by a statute, for

legislative study committees, which provide for the appointment of the chair, the number of members, per diemand mileage allowed, funding, and other matters.

If the provision creating a legislative study committee, task force, commission, etc., does not expire orexpires after December 31 of the year of enactment, use the following language to draft the provision asa provision of the Indiana Code. Note that the following boilerplate language is drafted assuming theestablishment of a legislative committee and that membership may need to be specified. (Note: Deleteinappropriate subsections.)

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION ___. IC _________ IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE ASA NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE__________]: Sec.__. (a) As used in this section, "[committee]" refers to the interim study[committee] on [insert subject matter] established by this section.

(b) There is established the interim study [committee] on [insert subjectmatter]. The [committee] shall study [insert study topics].

(c) The [committee] shall operate under the policies governing studycommittees adopted by the legislative council. [1]

(d) The affirmative votes of [a majority of the] voting membersappointed to the [committee] are required for the [committee] to takeaction on any measure, including final reports. [2] [3]

(e) This section expires [insert expiration date].

Explanation:

[1] This statement is unnecessary if the entity is established under IC 2-5. (See IC 2-5-1.2-13.)

[2] This statement is unnecessary if the entity is established under IC 2-5. (See IC 2-5-1.2-12.)

[3] The Legislative Council requires that the affirmative votes of a majority of the voting membersappointed to a legislative committee or commission are necessary for the legislative committee orcommission to take action on any measure, including final reports. This language must be includedwhenever a permanent or temporary legislative commission or committee is established by statute. If the affirmative votes of a group of members other than a majority are needed to take action ona measure, specify the number, fraction, or percentage that is necessary.

If the provision creating a legislative study committee, task force, commission, etc., expires on or beforeDecember 31 of the year of enactment, use the following language to draft the provision as a Noncodeprovision. Note that the following boilerplate language is drafted assuming the establishment of a legislativecommittee and that membership may need to be specified. (Note: Delete inappropriate subsections.)

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION ___. [EFFECTIVE__________] (a) As used in this SECTION,"[committee]" refers to the interim study [committee] on [insert subjectmatter] established by this SECTION.

(b) There is established the interim study [committee] on [insert subjectmatter]. The [committee] shall study [insert study topics].

(c) The [committee] shall operate under the policies governing studycommittees adopted by the legislative council.

(d) The affirmative votes of a majority of the voting members

Page 77

appointed to the [committee] are required for the [committee] to takeaction on any measure, including final reports. [1]

(e) This SECTION expires [insert expiration date].

Explanation:

[1] The Legislative Council requires that the affirmative votes of a majority of the voting membersappointed to a legislative committee or commission are necessary for the legislative committee orcommission to take action on any measure, including final reports. This language must be includedwhenever a permanent or temporary legislative commission or committee is established by statute.

See:EXHIBIT 23, Noncode Act Establishing a Legislative (Interim) Study Committee, with

Emergency Clause, page 186.EXHIBIT 24, Indiana Code Act Establishing a Legislative (Interim) Study Committee,

page 188.

(14) Reports to Legislative Entities

IC 5-14-6 requires a report submitted to the entire membership of the General Assembly, the LegislativeServices Agency, or the Legislative Council to be in an electronic format. A provision requiring such a reportmust contain language that substantively states the following:

Sample Boilerplate: A report to the [legislative entity name] must be submitted in an electronicformat under IC 5-14-6.

If a legislator wants to require that a state agency submit a report to the entire General Assembly, draft the billto require that the report be submitted to the executive director of the Legislative Services Agency. Note thatIC 5-14-6 does not apply to reports submitted by legislative branch entities or reports submitted to the Governor.IC 5-14-6 does not apply to reports submitted to committees or commissions having legislative members (otherthan the Legislative Council).

(15) Administrative Rules

To allow or to require an agency to adopt administrative rules, the following form should be used:

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. The [name of the agency] may [shall] adopt rules underIC 4-22-2 to implement this [section, chapter, article, title].

Care should be taken to make sure that the grant of rulemaking authority is not too narrow or too broad.

To prohibit an agency from adopting administrative rules on a certain matter, the following form may be used:

Example: The board may not adopt a rule requiring vehicle emission testing in certaincounties.

(See Transfer of Responsibilities, Property, Liabilities, and Funds to Successor Agencies, page 82, forprovisions transferring rules from one agency to another. See Emergency Rules and Rulemaking, page 95,for information about providing emergency rulemaking authority to state agencies.)

Page 78

(16) Construction Provisions

Construction provisions state the manner in which statutes are to be construed. IC 1-1-4 sets forth rules ofconstruction that apply throughout the Indiana Code. Individual construction provisions may be used only if amatter cannot be clarified in the substance of the bill itself or in a preamble to the bill. In that case, theconstruction provision should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision. (See the discussions of BILLPREAMBLE and Purpose Provisions on pages 51 and 62, respectively.)

Example: Sec. 26. This chapter may not be construed to reduce or modify an energyutility's obligation to provide energy service.

Example: (f) This section may not be construed to impair the director's authority toreclassify or reorganize positions in the state civil service as long as thereclassification or reorganization is not based on a classified employee's misconductor poor performance.

Example: Sec. 2. This article shall be liberally construed so that the article's purposes andpolicies may be accomplished as equitably and expeditiously as possible.

(17) Severability Provisions

A severability provision provides that if any part of an act is found invalid the remainder of the act should beupheld. The Indiana Code contains a general severability provision at IC 1-1-1-8(b) that applies to all Indianastatutes. If a severability provision is required to be included in a bill, it should be drafted as an Indiana Codeprovision.

Example: SECTION 1. IC 8-1-5-14 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWSECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 14. Theprovisions of this chapter are severable in the manner provided byIC 1-1-1-8(b).

(18) Nonseverability Provisions

Under IC 1-1-1-8(b) each part of every statute is severable unless a nonseverability provision is included in thestatute. If a statute contains a nonseverability provision and if any part of that statute is declared invalid, thewhole statute is void. Whether or not a nonseverability provision should be drafted as amendatory of the IndianaCode depends upon the situation. For example, a nonseverability provision must be inserted in the Indiana Codewhenever it is necessary to indicate that one provision of the Indiana Code should be void if another is heldinvalid or unconstitutional. If the amendments made by a particular act to an existing Indiana Code section areto be void if the amendments made by another SECTION of that act to another existing Indiana Code sectionare held invalid, the nonseverability provision should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision. If, on the otherhand, one Noncode provision is to be void if another Noncode SECTION of a bill is held invalid, thenonseverability provision should be drafted as a Noncode provision.

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. For the purposes of IC 1-1-1-8, if any part of this chapter [title,article, or section] is held invalid, the entire chapter [title, article, or section]is void.

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. For the purposes of IC 1-1-1-8, if section [chapter] __ of thischapter [article] is held invalid, section [chapter] __ is also void.

Page 79

Sample Boilerplate: Sec. __. For the purposes of IC 1-1-1-8, if the amendments to section __of this chapter made by SEA [HEA]_________, SECTION __, are heldinvalid, the amendments to section __ of this chapter made by SEA [HEA]_________, SECTION __, are void.

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION __. [EFFECTIVE _________] (a) For the purposes ofIC 1-1-1-8, if any part of this SECTION is held invalid, SECTION __ of thisact is also void.

(19) Expiration Provisions

Introduction

If a provision does not have an expiration provision, it should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision.

A provision that is in effect for more than two years should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision. Aprovision that staggers the initial terms of a board or commission is an exception and may, but does not needto, be drafted as a Noncode provision. Provisions that make construction appropriations, concern bondauthorization approvals, or are other budget act related SECTIONS are also exceptions.

If a provision is to expire on a certain date and that date is more than two years after enactment, the provisionmust contain a statement of its expiration.

If an article, chapter, or section is set to expire, an expiration section [or subsection] is required at the end of thearticle, chapter, or section.

Example: Sec. 10. This article expires July 1, 2022.

Example: Sec. 12. This chapter expires December 31, 2024.

Example: (g) This section expires March 15, 2033.

Example: (c) This subsection expires July 1, 2027.

Often, however, applicability provisions are clearer. (See Applicability Provisions, page 80.)

(20) Applicability Provisions

An applicability provision sets forth the specific agencies, groups, or things to which a bill's added, amended,or repealed provisions apply. Unless the subject is tax law, this type of provision should be drafted as an IndianaCode provision.

Example: SECTION 2. IC 5-2-9-0.1 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEWSECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 0.1. Thefollowing amendments to this chapter apply as follows:

(1) The addition of section 1.3 and sections 1.5, 1.6, and 6.3 of thischapter (before their repeal) by P.L.280-2001 applies to foreignprotection orders issued before, on, or after July 1, 2001.(2) The amendments made to sections 2.1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this chapterby P.L.280-2001 apply to foreign protection orders issued before, on,

Page 80

or after July 1, 2001.

Example: SECTION 37. IC 36-8-11-0.1 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS ANEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 0.1.The addition of section 26 of this chapter applies only to purchases that occurafter June 30, 2013.

(21) Legal Requirement Phase-In Provisions

A provision that phases in a legal requirement over time, even if the phase-in period is shorter than two years,should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision.

(22) Substantive Right and Obligation Provisions

A provision that creates a substantive right or obligation should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision.

(23) Medicaid Waiver Provisions

Draft a Medicaid waiver as an Indiana Code provision. When the Medicaid waiver program was established,all Medicaid waivers expired after a few years. At that time, drafting the provisions as Noncode provisions wasappropriate. Over the years, the waiver laws have changed, and many waivers are in existence for several years.IC 12-15-1.3 is the law governing Medicaid Waivers and plan amendments.

See EXHIBIT 27, Medicaid Waiver, page 199.

(24) Rules Transfer Provisions

A provision transferring rules from one agency or entity to another should be drafted as an Indiana Codeprovision and must be clear as to what is being transferred.

Example: Sec. 7. (a) The rules adopted by the department of administration before July 1,2013, concerning the state land office are considered, after June 30, 2013, rules ofthe commission.

Example: Sec. 8. The rules adopted by the stream pollution control board before April 1,2013, concerning solid waste management are considered, after March 31, 2013,rules of the solid waste management board.

Avoid drafting in a way that produces any of the following results:

(a) A bill repeals a cite establishing an agency with existing rules, but the bill is silent as to whether therules transfer to another authority, or the bill transfers the rules but fails to transfer the authority to usethe rules.

(b) Two bills rename an agency with existing rules, but the new names do not match. Authority to use therules is transferred but not the rules themselves.

(c) Existing rules are transferred by subject matter rather than by Indiana Code cite. It can be difficult foragencies to determine what must transfer and what must remain.

Page 81

(d) A transfer provision uses vague language, such as "shall be treated as". The provision should specifythat the rules of one entity become the rules of another entity.

(25) Transfer of Responsibilities, Property, Liabilities, and Funds to Successor Agencies

A well-written provision setting forth the transfer of property, assets, liabilities, and rules between entities is asfollows:

Example: Sec. 1. (a) As used in this section, "entity" means the following:(1) The Indiana development finance authority.(2) The state office building commission.(3) The Indiana transportation finance authority.(4) The recreational development commission.

(b) On May 15, 2013, all powers, duties, agreements, and liabilities of eachentity are transferred to the authority, as the successor agency.

(c) On May 15, 2013, all records and property of each entity, includingappropriations and other funds under the control or supervision of the entity,are transferred to the authority, as the successor agency.

(d) After May 14, 2013, any amounts owed to an entity before May 15,2013, are considered to be owed to the authority, as the successor agency.

(e) After May 14, 2013, a reference to an entity in a statute, rule, or otherdocument is considered a reference to the authority, as the successor agency.

(f) All powers, duties, agreements, and liabilities of an entity with respectto bonds issued by that entity in connection with any trust agreement orindenture securing those bonds are transferred to the authority, as the successoragency. The rights of the trustee under any trust agreement or indenture andthe rights of the bondholders of an entity remain unchanged, although thepowers, duties, agreements, and liabilities of the entity have been transferred tothe authority, as the successor agency.

In addition to the matters covered in the example above, consider whether to transfer the employees of theformer entity to the new entity and whether the employment rights of those individuals are unchanged by thetransfer.

Example: Sec. 4. Employees of the programs division of the department who areemployed on June 30, 2013, and who become employees of the state departmentof health under section 3 of this chapter are entitled to have their service underthe programs division of the department included for purposes of computing:

(1) retention points under IC 4-17-8.3 in the event of a layoff; and(2) all other applicable employment and retirement benefits.

Other considerations include:

(a) whether to specify that pending proceedings are transferred to the successor entity and must be treatedas if the successor entity were the original party;

(b) whether to allow board members of a dissolved board to become the initial members of a successorboard; and

(c) whether to specify that a license or permit issued by the former entity is considered a license or permitissued by the successor entity.

Page 82

Example: (h) Proceedings pending before the professional standards board on July1, 2013, shall be transferred from the professional standards board to thedepartment and treated as if initiated by the department.

Example: (f) The members appointed before July 1, 2013, to the professionalstandards board:

(1) become members of the advisory board for the division ofprofessional standards established by section 2 of this chapter; and(2) may serve until the expiration of the term for which the memberswere appointed.

(g) A license or permit issued by the professional standards board beforeJuly 1, 2013, shall be treated after June 30, 2013, as a license or permit issuedby the department.

(26) Legalizing Provisions

A legalizing provision is a statute passed to:

(a) cure defects in prior law; or

(b) validate legal proceedings, instruments, or acts of public and private administrative authorities;

that, in the absence of the legalizing provision, would be void for want of conformance with existing legalrequirements, but that would have been valid if the statute had so provided at the time of the action.

Example: Sec. 11. Actions taken under this chapter after December 31, 2008, andbefore the passage of legislation amending this chapter enacted during the 2013session of the general assembly are legalized and validated to the extent thatthose actions would have been legal and valid if the legislation amending thischapter enacted during the 2013 session of the general assembly had beenenacted before January 1, 2009.

Statutes may be retrospective only if:

(a) contract rights are not impaired (Article 1, Section 24 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana); or

(b) existing rights are not affected.

The constitutional prohibition against ex post facto laws applies only to criminal statutes.

(27) Savings Provisions

Introduction

A savings provision is designed to preserve rights or liabilities that have already accrued. There is a generalsavings provision located at IC 1-1-5-1 that preserves penalties, forfeitures, or liabilities. It states that:

Sec. 1. . . . the repeal of any statute shall not have the effect to release or extinguish any penalty,forfeiture, or liability incurred under such statute, unless the repealing act shall so expressly provide; andsuch statute shall be treated as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any proper action, or

Page 83

prosecution for the enforcement of such penalty, forfeiture, or liability.

Note that this provision does not have the effect of saving rights accrued under a statute. Generally, it is not theintent of the General Assembly to perpetuate rights under repealed provisions, but if that is the intent in aparticular instance, a specific savings provision is required.

A savings clause should be included in a bill only if the general savings clause is not adequate and there is someuncertainty that cannot be removed in the specific language of the bill.

Example: Sec. 17. The amendments to this chapter made by legislation enactedduring the 2012 session of the general assembly do not affect:

(1) rights or liabilities accrued;(2) penalties incurred;(3) crimes committed; or(4) proceedings begun;

before July 1, 2013. Those rights, liabilities, penalties, crimes, and proceedingscontinue and shall be imposed and enforced under the law in effect before July1, 2013, as if the legislation amending this chapter enacted during the 2012session of the general assembly had not been enacted.

Recodification of a Title

For an example of a savings clause in a recodified title, see EXHIBIT 26, Savings Clause for a RecodifiedTitle, page 194.

(28) Vehicle Bills

The rules of the House of Representatives and the Senate prescribe the guidelines for the introduction of vehiclebills. A vehicle bill contains no amended text but may be amended later in the legislative process with acommittee report in order to insert the desired text. (If a drafting attorney receives a request for a vehicle bill,contact the director of the Office of Bill Drafting and Research. Model vehicle bills are available through theLegislative Services Agency's bill drafting system.)

Example:

A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code.

Be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of Indiana:

SECTION 1. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] The Indiana Code is amended.

Example:

A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning natural and cultural resources.

Be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of Indiana:

SECTION 1. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] IC 14 is amended concerning natural and culturalresources.

A vehicle bill can also be prepared for a Joint Resolution.

Page 84

See:

EXHIBIT 19, House Vehicle Bill to Amend the Indiana Code, page 179.EXHIBIT 20, Senate Vehicle Bill to Amend a Title of the Indiana Code, page 181.EXHIBIT 66, Vehicle Bill for a Joint Resolution of the Senate to Amend the Constitution of the

State of Indiana, page 277.

(29) A Provision that will be Used by Many People.

Example: Sec. 7. (a) After June 30, 2013, a reference in any law, rule, contract, orother document or record to the state department of toxicology establishedunder IC 21-45-3 shall be treated as a reference to the department.

(b) On July 1, 2013, the property and obligations of the state department oftoxicology established under IC 21-45-3 are transferred to the department.

(c) This section expires July 1, 2014.

(30) A Provision Containing an Expiration Date that is Several Years in the Future.

Example: Sec. 3.5. (a) The Jackson superior court is not expanded to two (2) judgesuntil January 1, 2013.

(b) The governor shall appoint a person under IC 3-13-6-1(f) to serve as theinitial judge added to the Jackson superior court by section 3 of this chapterbefore January 1, 2013.

(c) The term of the initial judge appointed under subsection (b) beginsJanuary 1, 2013, and ends December 31, 2015.

(d) The initial election of the judge of the Jackson superior court added bysection 3 of this chapter is the general election on November 2, 2015. The termof the initially elected judge begins January 1, 2016.

(e) This section expires January 1, 2022.

I. REPEALERS

Before the 2012 session, repealers were drafted as Noncode provisions located just after a bill's Indiana Codeprovisions and before any other Noncode SECTIONS. The repeal procedure has been changed to require thatif a title, article, or chapter is to be repealed, the repealer must set forth the heading of the title, article, or chapter. If an Indiana Code section or a Noncode SECTION is to be repealed, the affected text must be set forth andstricken. Repealers are placed within the text of a bill in Indiana Code cite order. Explanations and examples areprovided below.

(1) Format for Repealing Indiana Code and Noncode Provisions

(a) Indiana Code Provisions

A repealer SECTION may not repeal less than an entire Indiana Code section. If less than an entire IndianaCode section is to be removed from the law, the text should be stricken by amendment. A separateSECTION is used for each section, chapter, article, and title that is repealed.

Repealing a Chapter, Article, or Title

The heading of the chapter, article, or title being repealed is set forth in parentheses after the repealerstatement. Because the heading of a chapter, article, or title is not part of the statute, the parenthetical

Page 85

language can be edited by the drafting attorney or an attorney in the Office of Code Revision if doing so aidsin understanding the material being repealed. For instance, without context, it is difficult to know what iscontained in a chapter titled "Miscellaneous Provisions". Great care must be used in editing theparenthetical language to avoid misleading the reader. The text of the chapter, article, or title is not includedin the repealer's SECTION. The repealer statement must be in all capital letters and in roman type. Oneperiod follows the bracketed effective date and another goes after the heading, outside the parentheses.

(1) For the repeal of a chapter, article, or title that is not in conflict, include the chapter, article,or title heading in parentheses. Omit additional text.

Example: SECTION 4. IC 25-4-1 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013].(Regulation of Architects Generally - Creation of Board).

Example: SECTION 7. IC 25-4 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013].(Architects).

Example: SECTION 5. IC 25 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013].(PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS).

If a NEW chapter, article, or title is added with a delayed effective date, and the NEWprovision is to be repealed in another bill, follow the same procedure, but do not use adelayed effective date.

(2) For the repeal of a chapter, article, or title that is in conflict (which happens when twochapters, articles, or titles are added at the same Indiana Code location), print a repealer for eachversion, identifying the version being repealed in the lead-in line.

Example: SECTION 15. IC 12-15-45, AS ADDED BY P.L.123-2011, SECTION 17, ISREPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. (Medicaid Waivers).

SECTION 16. IC 12-15-45, AS ADDED BY P.L.47-2011, SECTION 53, ISREPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. (Medicaid Waivers; DisabilityDetermination).

See EXHIBIT 15, Repealing a Chapter, page 173.

Repealing an Indiana Code Section

The section's repealer statement must be followed by the complete text of the section. The section's textmust be shown in stricken type. The repealer statement must be in all capital letters and in roman type. Aperiod follows the bracketed effective date.

For a section that is not in conflict and that does not contain a delayed effective date, include thesection's text in stricken type. The lead-in line should not contain "AS AMENDED BY P.L...." or "ASADDED BY P.L....".

Example: SECTION 3. IC 1-2-3-4 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec. 4.The authority shall...

3. negating the effect of a delayed effective date repealer; and

4. changing the effective date of a delayed effective date repealer;

see EXHIBIT 75, Drafting Repealers Under Special Circumstances, page 293.

(b) Noncode Provisions

A repealer SECTION may not repeal less than an entire Noncode SECTION. If less than an entire NoncodeSECTION must be removed from the law, the text should be stricken by amendment. A separate SECTIONis used for each Noncode SECTION that is repealed.

Repealing a Noncode SECTION

The repealer statement should be followed by the complete text of the Noncode SECTION. The section'stext should be in stricken type. The repealer statement should be in all capital letters and in roman type. Aperiod follows the bracketed effective date.

Example: SECTION 10. P.L.24-2011, SECTION 12, IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY1, 2013]. SECTION 12. The commission on the study of aging is established. Thepurpose of the commission is...

See EXHIBIT 18, Repealing a Noncode SECTION, page 178.

1. drafting a Noncode provision repealer with a delayed effective date; and

2. repealer forms for Noncode acts enacted before the 1982 Special Session;

see EXHIBIT 75, Drafting Repealers Under Special Circumstances, page 293.

(2) Finding and Amending References to Cites Being Repealed

An important part of repealing a provision is determining what, if any, references throughout the Indiana Codeand the Noncode Acts need to be redesignated, removed, or replaced because of the repeal. Legislative ServicesAgency drafting attorneys should follow the guidelines below to help ensure thorough implementation of arepeal.

(a) Perform a Folio search for references to the repealed cite.

Searching for References to a Repealed Section

Page 87

Example: Assume IC 1-3-2-3 is to be repealed. To search for references to that section,search Folio for the following:

1. The full Indiana Code citation.

Type into Folio search window: 1-3-2-3

OR

The chapter citation plus an asterisk.

Type into Folio search window: 1-3-2*

Either search command will locate all citations to the section, includingcitations that contain subsections, subdivisions, etc. The second option willalso return hits for all other sections in that chapter, any variations of thechapter citation (such as one with a decimal), and any other number in theIndiana Code containing that figure.

2. The cite's section number, with the phrase "of this chapter", within thesame chapter.

Type into Folio search window: [group 1-3-2] 3 "of this chapter"

This search command will locate all chapter hits containing a subsection,subdivision, clause, or item, such as "3(a)", "3(b)(1)", and "3(c)(2)(i)". Itwill also find any of the chapter's decimal sections beginning with thatsection number, such as "3.5".

Searching for References to a Repealed Chapter

Example: Assume IC 1-3-2 is to be repealed. To search for references to that chapter,search Folio for the full Indiana Code citation plus an asterisk.

Type into Folio search window: 1-3-2*

or 1-3-2

or 1-3-2-*

This search will return all citations to the chapter and to all sections within thatchapter. It will also return hits for other variations of the chapter citation (such as onewith a decimal) and any other number in the Indiana Code containing that figure.

Searching for References to a Repealed Article

Example: Assume IC 1-3 is to be repealed. To search for references to that article, searchFolio for the full Indiana Code citation plus an asterisk.

Type into Folio search window: 1-3*

Page 88

This search will return all citations to that article, all of its chapters, and all thesections within those chapters. It will also return hits for other variations to thearticle citation (such as one with a decimal) and any other number in the IndianaCode containing that figure.

(b) Perform a Folio search for references to any entity established or term defined within the repealedcite.

This search will not always be necessary, but if the cite being repealed establishes a board, commission, orother entity, or defines a term used elsewhere in the Indiana Code, references to the board, commission,other entity, or term must be removed, redesignated, or replaced.

Example: Assume IC 2-5-18 is to be repealed. The administrative rules oversight committeeis established in that chapter, and the committee is referenced in many locationsoutside that chapter.

If the proper Indiana Code cite search has been carried out for the chapter citation,a number of references to the committee will have already been found. However, notall references to the committee contain a chapter, or even a section, citation: only thename of the committee may appear. It is therefore best to do a separate search forthe name of the committee (and sometimes a variation or part of the name) to helpensure that all references are located.

See EXHIBIT 79, Using Folio, page 305, for a list of search commands.

(3) Resolving Repealer Conflicts

If the situation arises in which a particular chapter or article is repealed in one bill and a section within thatchapter or article is added or amended in another bill during the same legislative session, the intent of the GeneralAssembly must be made clear. To make it clear that the intent is that the repeal prevails, draft a NoncodeSECTION as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION __. [EFFECTIVE ______________] (a) In repealing [IC citerepealed] by this act, the general assembly recognizes that [IC cite addedor amended] was [added/amended] by [SEA or HEA citation]. The generalassembly intends to repeal that provision.

(b) This SECTION expires [insert expiration date].

Example: SECTION 5. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) In repealing IC 1-2-3 bythis act, the general assembly recognizes that IC 1-2-3-4 was amended bySEA 127-2013, SECTION 12. The general assembly intends to repeal thatprovision.

(b) This SECTION expires December 31, 2013.

(4) Repealers and Outstanding Obligations

Unless specifically terminated, bonds remain binding after the establishing provision is repealed. Boilerplatelanguage should be drafted in a Noncode SECTION to reaffirm the continued existence of the obligation. The SECTION effective date must be the same as that of the repeal.

Page 89

Example: SECTION 5. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) Notwithstanding the repeal ofIC 20-5-4-1.7 by this act, bonds issued under IC 20-5-4-1.7 before July 1, 2013,remain valid and binding obligations of the school corporation that issued them, asif IC 20-5-4-1.7 had not been repealed.

(b) This SECTION expires July 1, 2014.

(5) Expired Provisions

Under IC 1-1-5-10, the effect of the expiration of a statute is the same as the repeal of a statute. Do not amenda provision that is expired.

J. NONCODE PROVISIONS GENERALLY

(1) Defined

Noncode provisions are acts or parts of acts that are not included in the Indiana Code. Provisions that are notpart of the general and permanent statute law of Indiana are ordinarily excluded from the Indiana Code.

Some provisions that do not apply to the state generally, but instead apply only to a particular situation or class,are not included in the Indiana Code. Examples include property transfer acts, where the state authorizes the saleor transfer of a particular piece of land that it owns, and amendments to pre-1852 charters of corporations fortowns, churches, cemeteries, or businesses.

If a provision has a general application, but is not permanent law, it is considered "temporary" legislation andmay be drafted as a Noncode provision. Generally, temporary provisions include those that:

(a) contain a specific termination date that is within two years of the date of passage of the act (unless theprovision should otherwise be drafted as an Indiana Code provision—see SPECIFIC TYPES OFINDIANA CODE PROVISIONS, page 62);

(b) provide for transitional or implementary matters in an otherwise permanent act; or

(c) make a construction appropriation, concern a bond authorization approval, or are another budget actrelated SECTION (even if in effect for more than two years).

Noncode provisions are sometimes called "fall-away" SECTIONS, since these SECTIONS are included in thebound session laws (the Acts), but "fall away" after that and are not included in the bound publications of theIndiana Code or its supplements. The Noncode provisions are, however, included in the Indiana Code DVD andonline publications. Noncode SECTIONS are often set forth in annotated, unofficial publications of the IndianaCode (published by West and LexisNexis) in notes following the related Indiana Code sections.

(2) Printing Style

(a) Amending an Existing Noncode SECTION

When an existing Noncode SECTION is amended, the latest version of the text is set forth in regular romantype (roman type). Material to be deleted is stricken through (stricken type), and material to be added is setin bold type (bold type).

Page 90

See EXHIBIT 16, Amendment of a Noncode Act, page 174.

(b) Adding a New Noncode SECTION

When a new Noncode SECTION is added, the entire text of the SECTION is set in bold type (bold type).

See EXHIBIT 17, Adding a Noncode SECTION, page 177.

(3) Expiration Date

Include a statement of expiration in each temporary Noncode provision unless the expiration date cannot bedetermined. If the expiration date cannot be determined, consider placing the provision in the Indiana Code.

Example: (b) This SECTION expires July 1, 2014.

(4) Internal References to Noncode Provisions

(a) To cite to a new Noncode SECTION located within the same bill, use the word "SECTION", theSECTION number, and "of this act".

Example: SECTION 3. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) Reimbursement for any travelexpenses claimed by lay members serving on research committees under thejurisdiction of the legislative council must be based on SECTION 4 of this act,until the legislative council applies the travel policies and procedures governinglegislators and their staff to those lay members.


(b) To cite to a new Noncode SECTION located in a different bill during the same legislative session,set forth the HEA, SEA, or P.L. number of the other bill and include the SECTION number.

Example: SECTION 151. [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE] (a) In repealingIC 35-41-1-3.5 by this act, the general assembly recognizes that IC 35-41-1-3.5was amended by HEA 1196-2013, SECTION 10. The general assembly intendsto repeal that provision.


(c) To cite to a Noncode SECTION being amended within the same bill, set forth the NoncodeSECTION's citation number and include the phrase ", as amended by this act,".

Example: SECTION 13. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) P.L. 102-2012, SECTION 8,as amended by this act, applies to a change in membership of the playgroundsafety commission occurring after June 30, 2013.


For information concerning internal references to Indiana Code provisions, see Internal References toIndiana Code Provisions, page 57.

(5) As Applicable to Referenced Indiana Code Cite

Because a Noncode provision often explains the applicability of an Indiana Code provision that is added or

Page 91

amended in a bill, or provides for "clean-up" of a repealed provision, it is sometimes necessary to distinguishbetween the pre-amendment and post-amendment text of a statute, or to note if the provision is being added tothe Indiana Code.

If a reference to a particular provision relates to the provision as amended or repealed by the bill, then a phrasesaying as much should be included after each reference—either "as amended by" or "as repealed by". An "asadded by" phrase should be included after each reference to a new provision added by the bill. If a referencedoes not relate to the provision as it has been amended or repealed in the bill—in other words, if it relates tothe version of text currently in effect—no such phrase is needed unless the provision is being repealed.

Example: SECTION 47. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) IC 27-1-15.7-2(a) andIC 27-1-15.7-2(e), both as amended by this act, apply to an insurance producerlicense renewal occurring after December 31, 2013.

(b) IC 27-1-15.7-5, as amended by this act, applies to insurance producerprelicensing self-study or instruction provided after December 31, 2013.

(c) This SECTION expires December 31, 2014.

Example: SECTION 2. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) IC 6-2.3-4-7, as added by thisact, applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.

(b) This SECTION expires January 1, 2016.

Example: SECTION 68. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) Not later than July 5, 2013,the auditor of state shall transfer the balance that remains on June 30, 2013, inthe career college student assurance fund established under IC 21-17-3-8, asrepealed by this act, as follows:

(1) Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) to the career collegestudent assurance fund established by IC 21-18.5-6-6, as added by thisact.(2) The remainder of the money not transferred under subdivision (1)to the student assurance fund established by IC 22-4.1-21-18, as addedby this act.


Example: SECTION 63. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) An individual certified as:(1) an emergency medical technician-basic advanced (as defined inIC 16-18-2-112.5, before its repeal by this act); or(2) an emergency medical technician-intermediate (as defined inIC 16-18-2-112.7, before its repeal by this act);

on June 30, 2013, must comply with the requirements for certification underIC 16-31-3, as amended by this act, no later than June 30, 2014.


K. SPECIFIC TYPES OF NONCODE PROVISIONS

(1) Provisions That Apply to Only One Person or Entity and that do not Have Ongoing Applicability

For instance, if the legislation creates a new superior court, and the desire is to make a magistrate of the existingsuperior court the initial judge of the new superior court, the specification of the magistrate as the initial superiorcourt judge can be written as a Noncode statute with an expiration date.

Page 92

Other examples of this sort of provision are:

(a) an extension of time to late-file for a tax exemption, deduction, etc., if the action is taken by the eligibletaxpayers within a specified time;

(b) a tax levy appeal that applies to one unit; and

(c) one-time property transfers.

(2) Transitional or Self-Terminating Provisions

(a) Initial Terms; Staggered Terms

These provisions for initial terms of officers or members set forth the procedure for staggering the terms orfor making the transition from one entity to another entity. Note that this sort of provision may be draftedas a Noncode provision even though it expires more than two years after the date of enactment.

Example: SECTION 6. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) The initial terms of office forthe four (4) individuals appointed to the bureau of motor vehicles commissionby the governor under IC 9-15-1-2 are as follows:

(1) One (1) member for a term of one (1) year.(2) One (1) member for a term of two (2) years.(3) One (1) member for a term of three (3) years.(4) One (1) member for a term of four (4) years.

(b) The initial terms begin July 1, 2013. (c) This SECTION expires July 1, 2017.

Example: SECTION 8. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) NotwithstandingIC 33-5-8-1(b), as added by this act, the judge of the Bartholomew county courton June 30, 2013, is entitled to serve as the initial judge of the Bartholomewsuperior court No. 2 for a term beginning July 1, 2013, and ending December31, 2014.

(b) The initial election of a judge of the Bartholomew superior court No. 2is the general election to be held November 6, 2014. The person elected in thatelection takes office January 1, 2015.

(c) This SECTION expires January 2, 2015.

(b) Transferring Money and Closing Accounts

Provisions transferring money from one account or fund to another or otherwise specifying procedures forclosing an account should be drafted as Noncode. A provision transferring funds from one agency or entityto another may be written as follows:

Example: SECTION 7. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) The balance of the fundsremaining in a county's county welfare fund and the county welfare trustclearance fund on December 31, 2013, that is attributable to administration,facilities, supplies, and equipment, as determined by the state board of taxcommissioners, shall be transferred to the state and deposited in the statewelfare fund.


Page 93

A provision that establishes an account should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision. (See Accounts,page 74.)

(c) Provisions that Void Rules or Require Rule Amendment

Draft as a Noncode statute a provision that voids a rule on a specific date or that requires an agency toamend a rule by a specific date. Note that it is a more efficient process for the legislature to declare anadministrative provision void than to require an agency to go through the amendment procedure to deletethe provision.

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION __. [EFFECTIVE _________] (a) [Insert citation orprovision] is void. The publisher of the Indiana Administrative Codeand Indiana Register shall remove this title [article] [rule] [section][provision] from the Indiana Administrative Code.

(b) This SECTION expires [insert expiration date].

Example: SECTION 6. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) 68 IAC 2-2-1(c)(8) isvoid. The publisher of the Indiana Administrative Code and IndianaRegister shall remove this subsection from the Indiana AdministrativeCode.


Example: SECTION 133. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013 ] (a) The administrativerule concerning proof by an individual that a residence is theindividual's principal place of residence for purposes of the homesteadstandard deduction that is set forth at 50 IAC 24-3-2 is void. Thepublisher of the Indiana Administrative Code shall remove50 IAC 24-3-2 from the Indiana Administrative Code.


Example: SECTION 1. [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE] (a) Before May 1,2013, the solid waste management board shall amend 329 IAC 10-2 toincorporate the following definitions of terms used in 329 IAC 10-2-99:

(1) Hazardous waste.(2) Solid waste.

(b) This SECTION expires May 2, 2013.SECTION 2. An emergency is declared for this act.

Example: SECTION 2. [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE] (a) It is the intent ofthe general assembly that all sections of 49 CFR 383, including 49 CFR383.3, be incorporated into the Indiana Administrative Code, asrequired by IC 9-24-6-2, as amended by this act.

(b) 140 IAC 7-3-16 is therefore void. The publisher of the IndianaAdministrative Code and the Indiana Register shall remove this sectionfrom the Indiana Administrative Code.

(c) The bureau of motor vehicles shall carry out the duties imposedupon it under IC 9-24-6-2, as amended by this act, under interimwritten guidelines approved by the commission of the bureau of motorvehicles.

(d) This SECTION expires on the earlier of the following:(1) The date rules are adopted under IC 9-24-6-2, as amended

Page 94

by this act.(2) December 31, 2013.

SECTION 3. An emergency is declared for this act.

(d) Emergency Rules and Rulemaking

IC 4-22-2-37.1 is the Indiana Code section governing emergency rulemaking procedure for all stateagencies. See below for additional information concerning emergency rulemaking procedure applicableto the Indiana department of environmental management (IDEM).

A grant of emergency rulemaking authority permits a state agency to adopt emergency rules, which aresometimes called "temporary rules" or "interim administrative rules". An emergency rule is often used toprovide short-term governance while a "regular" rule (i.e., a rule adopted under IC 4-22-2-22.5 throughIC 4-22-2-36) is being adopted. The regular rule adoption process can be lengthy and involves severalsteps, including a period of public notice and comment, before a rule can be adopted. However, anemergency rule goes into effect as soon as it is accepted for filing with the publisher of the IndianaAdministrative Code and Indiana Register. Note that neither emergency rules nor rules adopted through theregular rulemaking procedure are filed with the secretary of state.

Emergency rulemaking authority should be considered to be a transitional provision to be used in certainsituations such as when a law creates a new program (which will probably require rules) or changes aprogram (which will probably require a change in rules but insufficient time exists in which to adopt regularrules before the change becomes enforceable). The general rule is that emergency rulemaking is notpreferred, but many programs require quick changes, such as those tied to federal statutes.

Before drafting emergency rulemaking authority for a particular agency, discuss with the author the desiredparameters of the authority and the desired duration of any rules adopted under the authority, as well aswhether the duration of an emergency rule may be extended. Unless otherwise stated in the grant ofauthority, the default duration of an emergency rule is 90 days with the potential for one extension periodof an additional 90 days, which requires the adoption of another rule under IC 4-22-2-37.1. In order for anemergency rule to be effective after the extension period, the rule must be adopted through the regularrulemaking procedure outlined in IC 4-22-2-22.5 through IC 4-22-2-36. Emergency rulemaking authoritygranted to IDEM differs from that granted to all other state agencies in that the default duration of anemergency rule is still 90 days, but the emergency rule may have two extension periods, each of anadditional 90 days. Avoid giving an agency an unlimited number of extensions. Consider granting theagency permanent rulemaking authority.

Consider drafting an agency's emergency rulemaking authority as a provision of the Indiana Code, even ifthe grant of authority will be temporary. If the authority is to be temporary, be sure to include an expirationdate for the provision.

A grant of emergency rulemaking authority under IC 4-22-2-37.1 can take several forms, so consider thefollowing boilerplate samples:

Page 97

(e) Appropriation Provisions

There are two types of appropriations, continuing and temporary.

Continuing

A continuing appropriation is an annual and continuing appropriation. This type of appropriationshould be drafted as an Indiana Code provision. (See SPECIFIC TYPES OF INDIANA CODEPROVISIONS, page 62.)

Appropriations Covering a Period of More than Two Years

If an appropriation is to cover a period of more than two years but it is not a continuingappropriation, it should be drafted as an Indiana Code provision and include an expiration date. (See SPECIFIC TYPES OF INDIANA CODE PROVISIONS, page 62.)

Temporary

A temporary appropriation is for a specific period not to exceed two years. This type of appropriationshould be drafted as a Noncode provision. The following form should be followed for a temporaryappropriation:

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION __. [EFFECTIVE _____________] (a) There isappropriated to [1] [2] from [3] for its use in [4] [5].

(b) This SECTION expires [insert expiration date]. [6]

Explanation:

[1] Insert the full statutory title of the agency to receive the funds.

[2] Insert the amount of money to be appropriated. If there is no definite dollar amount, insert themethod to be used to compute the maximum possible amount of the appropriation.

[3] Insert the source of the money, such as "from the state general fund".

[4] Insert the purpose for which the funds are to be used. This purpose may be expressed in generalterms such as "carrying out the purposes of IC ______".

[5] Insert the period (not to exceed two years) for which the appropriation is made. For example, fora state fiscal year say, "beginning July 1, 20__, and ending June 30, 20__". For mostappropriations, it is best to appropriate the money at the start of a state fiscal year.

[6] Insert the SECTION's expiration date, which should not be more than two years after theSECTION takes effect.

In the appropriation, note whether it is in addition to or in place of money appropriated in a budget act.However, do this only if it is certain that the budget act made an appropriation for the same purpose.

Page 98

Reversion of Appropriated Funds

Appropriated funds that are not used or encumbered during the fiscal year or fiscal biennium for which theyare appropriated revert to the state general fund unless otherwise provided by the appropriation or unlessspecifically covered by IC 4-13-2-19. Do not state the fiscal year if reversion is not desired. If reversion isnot desired, insert the following language:

Sample Boilerplate: The money appropriated by this [section] [SECTION] [act] doesnot revert to the state general fund at the close of any fiscal yearbut remains available to the [insert name of agency] until thepurpose for which it was appropriated is fulfilled.

Note, however that some administrations have redirected funds through administrative action permittedunder IC 4-12-1 rather than relying on IC 4-13-2-19.

(f) Other Transitional or Self-Terminating Provisions

Provisions requiring that refunds be given or maximum property tax levy limits be recalculated should bedrafted as Noncode provisions.

(3) Tax Law Applicability

A provision concerning the applicability of tax laws should be drafted as Noncode. Examples include provisionsidentifying the initial taxable event, taxable year, registration year, reporting period, filing date, deposit date, orassessment date to which a change in the law applies. Related transitional provisions, such as formulas forcalculating tax rates for a particular taxable year, may be included with a Noncode applicability provision fora tax law. The provision must include an expiration clause specifying a date that occurs after the later of the endof the affected period or the first day of the year following the year that a final return related to the period mustbe filed.

In the example below, note that returns are usually filed in June 2012 for the April 2012 reporting periodbut annual filers would file in January 2013.

Example: SECTION 106. [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE] (a) For purposes of:(1) IC 6-2.5-7-3; and(2) IC 6-2.5-7-5;

as amended by this act, all transactions, except the furnishing of public utility,telephone or related services, cable television or similar video and relatedservices, cable radio, satellite television, or satellite radio services and relatedcommodities by retail merchants described in IC 6-2.5-4-5, IC 6-2.5-4-6, andIC 6-2.5-4-11, shall be considered as having occurred after March 31, 2012, tothe extent that delivery of the property or services constituting selling at retailis made after that date to the purchaser or to the place of delivery designatedby the purchaser. However, a transaction shall be considered as havingoccurred before April 1, 2012, to the extent that the agreement of the parties tothe transaction was entered into before April 1, 2012, and payment for theproperty or services furnished in the transaction is made before April 1, 2012,notwithstanding the delivery of the property or services after March 31, 2012.

(b) With respect to a transaction constituting the furnishing of publicutility, telephone or related services, cable television or similar video andrelated services, cable radio, satellite television, or satellite radio services and

Page 99

related commodities, only transactions for which the charges are collected uponoriginal statements and billings dated after April 30, 2012, shall be consideredas having occurred after March 31, 2012.

(c) This SECTION expires January 1, 2014.

In the example below, note that individual income tax filers ordinarily file by April 15, 2011, for the2010 taxable year, and fiscal year filers ordinarily file by October 15, 2011, for the 2010-2011 taxableyear.

Example: SECTION 2. [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2012 (RETROACTIVE)] (a)IC 6-3-2-3.7, as amended by this act, applies only to taxable years beginningafter December 31, 2011. (b) This SECTION expires January 1, 2014.

In the example below, note that taxes are due and payable in 2013 for a 2012 assessment date.

Example: SECTION 106. [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE] (a) IC 6-1.1-21.1, as addedby this act, applies to property taxes imposed for an assessment date afterJanuary 15, 2012.


(4) Nonseverability Provisions

Nonseverability provisions can be drafted as Noncode provisions when the bill is a Noncode bill. (SeeNonseverability Provisions, page 79.)

(5) Emergency Clauses

Article 4, Section 28 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana specifies that an act may take effect before it ispublished and circulated in all counties only if the General Assembly declares an emergency in the act. Anemergency clause is required if the earliest effective date in an act precedes June 30 of the year of enactment.

An emergency clause is drafted as a Noncode provision and must be in the following form:

Boilerplate: SECTION ___. An emergency is declared for this act.

(6) Special Relief Bills

A bill for special relief on behalf of a citizen to redress an alleged wrong of the state or a state agency may bedrafted in such a manner that it is not in conflict with Article 4, Section 24 of the Constitution of the State ofIndiana. Use the following form:

(This section is continued on the next page.)

Page 100

Example:

Citations Affected: Noncode.

Synopsis: Provides special relief for John Johnson.


A BILL FOR AN ACT for the special relief of John Johnson.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

SECTION 1. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) There is appropriated to JohnJohnson two hundred dollars ($200) from the state general fund for special relief. Thismoney is not appropriated for payment of damages but is provided solely out ofhumanitarian consideration for the wrongs done to John Johnson.


See EXHIBIT 21, Bill for Special Relief, page 183.

(7) Complex or Voluminous Legislation

A bill request, especially a request that is made close to the bill request deadline, sometimes creates a situationin which several hundred sections of law need to be amended in a very short time to create the bill before thefiling deadline.

Consider the following as an example: On the day before the bill request deadline, a legislator requests a bill tochange the name of the department of state revenue to the "Indiana revenue service". There are almost 400sections of the Indiana Code that contain a reference to the "department of state revenue" and almost 1,000sections of the Indiana Code in Title 6 that contain a reference to "department"—most of which are referencesto the department of state revenue. The drafting attorney assigned to this project will have a very difficult timemeeting the bill filing deadline if all the sections containing a reference to "department of state revenue" and"department" must be changed to "Indiana revenue service" and "service".

With the approval of the director of the Office of Bill Drafting and Research and the director of the Office ofCode Revision, a much shorter version of the bill may be created to carry out the substantive intent of thelegislator and to require the Legislative Services Agency to prepare conforming legislation for introduction inthe next legislative session. The text requiring the Legislative Services Agency to create legislation to makeconforming changes may be drafted in the following form:

Sample Boilerplate: SECTION ___. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 20__] (a) The legislativeservices agency shall prepare legislation for introduction in the 20__regular session of the general assembly to make appropriate changesin statutes that are required by this act.

(b) This SECTION expires December 31, 20__.

Example: SECTION 32. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) The legislativeservices agency shall prepare legislation for introduction in the 2014regular session of the general assembly to organize and correct statutes

Page 101

affected by this act.(b) This SECTION expires December 31, 2013.

L. EFFECTIVE DATES

IC 2-2.1-1 governs Indiana's legislative sessions and procedures. Each term of the General Assembly consistsof two "regular" session years. The first occurs during odd-numbered years. It is a long session that adjournssine die not later than April 29 and in which the two year budget is made and approved. The second is a shortsession, adjourning sine die not later than March 14. The Governor has the ability to call a "special" session (designated as "ss" in section history and lead-in lines) during the interim to finish any matters left unresolved(usually budgetary) during a regular session.

The system for determining and assigning different types of effective dates revolves around the procedureoutlined above. Every SECTION or "act" must have an effective date. Certain types of effective dates requirethe inclusion of an emergency clause. (See Emergency Clauses, page 100, for information on emergencyclauses and formatting specifics.)

(1) Types of Effective Dates

(a) Uniform Effective Date

IC 1-1-3-3 provides for a uniform effective date of July 1 for acts passed at a regular session of the GeneralAssembly. The uniform effective date should be used whenever possible. (An exception is the tax area.) If the effective date needs to be a delayed effective date, follow the guidelines set forth in Delayed EffectiveDates, page 103.

An emergency clause is not required for a uniform effective date.

Example: SECTION 1. IC 4-2-13-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 4. An individual who...

(b) Early Effective Dates

Article 4, Section 28 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana specifies that an act may take effect beforeit is published and circulated in all counties only if the General Assembly declares an emergency in the act.

If a bill contains a SECTION that takes effect before June 30 immediately following the sine dieadjournment of the regular session in which the bill was enacted, the bill requires an emergencyclause.

Retroactive Effective Dates

A "retroactive" effective date is one that occurs before the bill is signed by the Governor.

If a SECTION is to take effect retroactively, include "(RETROACTIVE)" within the effective datebrackets.

Example: SECTION 5. IC 4-21.5-3-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2011 (RETROACTIVE)]: Sec. 4. An individual

Page 102

who...

If a bill contains a SECTION that takes effect retroactively, the bill requires an emergencyclause.

Upon Passage Effective Dates

For a bill to take effect when the Governor signs the bill or on the eighth day after presentment ifit is filed without the Governor's signature, use the effective date "upon passage".

Example: SECTION 10. IC 4-21.5-3-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE]: Sec. 4. An individual who...

The language "upon passage" has been interpreted to mean that the bill takes effect when signedby the Governor or on the eighth day after presentment to the Governor if the Governor does notsign or veto the bill (Article 5, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana). Ordinarily,however, it is best to provide for a specific effective date.

If a bill contains a SECTION that takes effect upon passage, the bill requires an emergencyclause.

(c) Delayed Effective Dates

A "delayed" effective date is a date that falls after the July 1 uniform effective date. Avoid using a delayedeffective date except when drafting in the tax area. A delayed effective date sometimes leads to the creationof multiple versions of a single law. Instead, use the July 1 uniform effective date and either state thedelayed effective date in the text of the section or draft an Indiana Code provision of applicability.

In the following samples, assume the session year as 2013 with a uniform effective date of July 1, 2013. The differences are noted in underlined type.

Don't Say: SECTION 1. IC 9-15-4-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2020]: Sec. 4. The commissioner shall not oversee thedepartment.

Say: SECTION 1. IC 9-15-4-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 4. (a) Until July 1, 2020, the commissioner shalloversee the department.

(b) Beginning July 1, 2020, the commissioner shall not oversee thedepartment.

An emergency clause is not required for a delayed effective date.

(2) Form Generally

Each SECTION must contain an effective date. The effective date is inserted in the SECTION's lead-in line.

(a) Effective Dates for Indiana Code Provisions

An effective date affecting an Indiana Code provision must be inserted in brackets in all roman capital

Page 103

letters before the colon in the lead-in line.

Example: SECTION 4. IC 33-5-25-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2013]: Sec. 1. The court...

(b) Effective Dates for Noncode Provisions

An effective date affecting a Noncode provision—other than an amendment of another Noncodeprovision—must be inserted in brackets in all roman capital letters after the SECTION number. Note thatno colon is used after the effective date of a new Noncode provision.

Example: SECTION 5. [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2013] (a) The initial members...

The effective date clause for the amendment of a Noncode provision must be prepared in the same style asthe effective date clause for an Indiana Code provision.

Example: SECTION 6. P.L.18-1991, SECTION 1, IS AMENDED TO READ ASFOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2013]: SECTION 1. The commission...

(c) Effective Dates for Repealers

An effective date affecting a repealer must be inserted in brackets in all roman capital letters after the word"REPEALED". A period must be placed after the closing bracket.

Example: SECTION 24. IC 33-5-25-1 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec.1. The department shall report....

Example: SECTION 16. IC 12-22-4 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2011(RETROACTIVE)]. (Dawn Project).

Example: SECTION 14. P.L.8-1999, SECTION 14, IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY1, 2013]. SECTION 14. A commissioner may...

(3) Other Effective Date Considerations

(a) Effective Dates to be Avoided

Avoid the use of effective "upon passage".

In long sessions, avoid effective dates from January 1 to May 14 of that year.

In short sessions, avoid effective dates from January 1 to March 31 of that year.

(b) Fiscal Years

Often if an appropriation is involved, the bill will need to take effect at the beginning of the next fiscal year.Each state fiscal year runs from July 1 of one year through June 30 of the following year.

In the example below, assume the current session year to be 2013.

Page 104

Example: SECTION 3. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013] (a) One million dollars($1,000,000) is appropriated...

Note: The fiscal year for political subdivisions is January 1 through December 31, but the budget makingprocess for local government begins July 1 of the preceding year.

(c) Effective Contingent on Some Event

It is possible to draft legislation that will be applicable upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some futureevent. In drafting such a provision, comply with Article 1, Section 25 of the Constitution of the State ofIndiana, which voids any act taking effect on any "authority outside that provided in the Constitution".

Don't Say: If the Congress of the United States appropriates money to provide states withfunding for the rehabilitation of historic courthouses, this section applies.

Say: If the state historic preservation officer notifies the governor that the Congress of theUnited States has appropriated money to provide states with funding for therehabilitation of historic courthouses, the governor shall file an affidavit with thesecretary of state that states that the money has been appropriated. This sectionapplies upon the filing of the governor's affidavit.

Provisions that might fail to comply with the constitutional requirement are as follows:

Don't Say: This act becomes effective when the Association of Electricians adopts standards togovern the installation of wiring.

OR

This act becomes effective when the United States Drug Enforcement Agency addsthe substances listed in this article to its list of controlled substances.

(d) Effective Dates of Acts Passed Over Governor's Veto

If the Governor's veto is overridden by the House of Representatives and Senate, the effective date of theact might be different from the date stated in the act. (See IC 1-1-3.1.)

(e) Drafting Effective Dates During a Special Session

If the session is a special session, consult with an attorney in the Office of Code Revision.

(b) both Joint Resolutions are being drafted for their second presentment to the General Assembly;

the drafting attorney may change the number of the constitutional Section or Article in one of the JointResolutions to prevent both Joint Resolutions from adding a different provision at the same constitutionalcitation. The change shall be considered a change in form that is technical in nature and not a substantivechange to either Joint Resolution.

Page 113

Chapter 5. Concurrent Resolutions

A. INTRODUCTION

A Concurrent Resolution must be agreed to by both the House of Representatives and the Senate (i.e., bothchambers must "concur"). This type of resolution may be used for a variety of purposes, including thefollowing:

1. Urging the Congress of the United States and the President of the United States to take action.

2. Memorializing important individuals and events.

3. Offering congratulations, praise, and gratitude.

4. Urging the Legislative Council to establish a study committee, interim study committee, orcommission.

Concurrent Resolutions may also be used to urge the Governor and various state entities to take action.

When a Concurrent Resolution is drafted by Legislative Services Agency staff, the drafting attorney'sidentification number is included in the document's footer, along with either an "HC" (if it is a ConcurrentResolution of the House) or an "SC" (if it is a Concurrent Resolution of the Senate). If a House or Senatecaucus attorney drafts the resolution, the footer will contain the caucus attorney's initials and either an "RC"(which stands for "Republican Concurrent") or a "DC" (which stands for "Democrat Concurrent").

The text of a Concurrent Resolution may be written in a less formal style than that required for legislativemeasures. However, adherence to the rules of grammar, spelling, and readability apply to all resolutions. Keep each "Whereas" clause as concise as possible. Seek consistency throughout the text of the resolution.

For specific examples of Concurrent Resolutions, see the following Exhibits:EXHIBIT 56, Concurrent Resolution of the Senate, page 252.EXHIBIT 57, Concurrent Resolution of the Senate, Prepared by a House Caucus Attorney,

page 255.EXHIBIT 58, Concurrent Resolution of the House, page 257.EXHIBIT 59, Concurrent Resolution of the House: Urges the Legislative Council to Act,

page 260.EXHIBIT 60, Concurrent Resolution of the Senate: Urges Congress to Act, Prepared by a Senate

Caucus Attorney, page 262.

B. GENERAL FORM

A Concurrent Resolution has a digest with a concise statement of the proposed resolution. Such aresolution must contain at least one "Whereas" clause, the purpose of which is to state the reason or reasonsfor the resolution. Use the following form to draft a Concurrent Resolution that is created to offercongratulations, give praise, express gratitude, or urge the Congress of the United States and the Presidentof the United States to take some sort of action, or for some similar purpose:

Page 114

Example:

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION (congratulating, memorializing, urging,etc.).....[Insert in the title a concise statement of the proposedresolution.]................................................................................................

Whereas, ............... [Insert the preamble.];

Whereas, ......................................... ;

Whereas, ........................................ ; and

Whereas, .................................. : Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives [Senate] of the General Assemblyof the State of Indiana, the Senate [House of Representatives] concurring:

SECTION 1. That .........[Insert the text of the resolution; like the body of a bill,the body is divided into SECTIONS numbered SECTION 1, SECTION 2, etc.]....

SECTION 2. That ..................................................................................................SECTION 3. That .................................................................................................

C. INTERIM STUDY COMMITTEE FORM

If a legislator wants the General Assembly to go on record in favor of establishing a particular interim studycommittee, a Concurrent Resolution may be adopted. Use the following form in that case:

Example:

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the establishment of an interim studycommittee on ................................

Whereas, .......... [if desired, insert the reasons the committee is needed]:Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives [Senate] of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, the Senate [House of Representatives] concurring:

SECTION 1. That the legislative council is urged to establish an interim studycommittee to [Insert a concise statement of the purpose of the proposed studycommittee].

SECTION 2. That the committee, if established, shall operate under thedirection of the legislative council and that the committee shall issue a final reportwhen directed to do so by the council.

Page 115

Chapter 6. Simple Resolutions

Simple Resolutions are adopted by only one chamber of the General Assembly. This type of resolution maybe used for the same purposes as a Concurrent Resolution, including the following:

1. Urging the Congress of the United States and President of the United States to take action.

2. Urging the Legislative Council to establish study committees, interim study committees, andcommissions.

3. Memorializing important individuals and events.

4. Offering congratulations, praise, and gratitude.

Simple Resolutions may also be used to urge the Governor and various state entities to take action.

When a Simple Resolution is drafted by Legislative Services Agency staff, the drafting attorney'sidentification number is included in the document's footer, along with either an "HR" (if it is a SimpleResolution of the House) or an "SR" (if it is a Simple Resolution of the Senate). If a House or Senatecaucus attorney drafts the resolution, the footer will contain the caucus attorney's initials and either a "DR"(which stands for "Democrat Resolution") or an "RR" (which stands for "Republican Resolution").

The text of a Simple Resolution may be written in a less formal style than that required for legislativemeasures. However, adherence to the rules of grammar, spelling, and readability apply to all resolutions. While a Simple Resolution does not require the inclusion of a "Whereas" clause, keep any "Whereas"clause used as concise as possible. Seek consistency throughout the text of the resolution.

For examples of a Simple Resolution, see the following Exhibits: EXHIBIT 51, Simple Resolution of the Senate, page 244.EXHIBIT 52, Simple Resolution of the House, page 247.EXHIBIT 53, Simple Resolution of the House, Prepared by a House Caucus Attorney,

Chapter 7. Post-Introductory Drafting

A. INTRODUCTION

Post-introductory drafting consists of drafting proposed committee amendments, committee reports, secondand third reading floor motions, Joint Rule 20 motions, Joint Rule 21 motions, and conference committeereports. Each amendment, after it has been passed, is incorporated into the appropriate bill.

Types of Amendatory Documents

It is helpful to understand the differences between the various types of documents produced by the GeneralAssembly, as well as the commonly used abbreviated name for each. The most common post-introductorydocuments are listed below. The designation used in the footer of each document type is also included.

Proposed Committee Amendment or "AM"

This is a document that is presented to a committee proposing to change the wording of a bill orJoint Resolution.

See EXHIBIT 29, Proposed Committee Amendment to a Senate Bill, page 206.

Committee Report or "CR"

This is a document showing bill or Joint Resolution changes that are approved by a committee. The committee report is filed in the appropriate chamber to be voted on by the entire body on thefloor. A committee report may incorporate one or more amendments into a bill, or it may leavethe bill as it is, in which case the bill is marked "Do Pass" or "DP". Simple Resolutions andConcurrent Resolutions are usually passed with a "Do Pass" committee report. A bill that isapproved after the committee report amendments have been included is marked "Do PassAmended" or "DPA".

See:EXHIBIT 30, Committee Report of the Senate: Do Pass, First Printing, First

Chamber, page 207.EXHIBIT 31, Committee Report of the House: Do Pass, First Chamber, page 208.EXHIBIT 32, Committee Report of the Senate: Do Pass, Second Chamber,

the House, First Chamber, page 266.EXHIBIT 69, Committee Report of the Senate: Do Pass Amended on a Joint

Resolution of the Senate, Introduced Version, page 284.

Motion or "MO"

This is a document proposing a change to a bill or Joint Resolution during second or third reading,made on the floor of a chamber. The House and Senate caucus attorneys also prepare motions. The footer of a House or Senate motion would contain the designation "RS" (Republican Senate),"DS" (Democrat Senate), "RH" (Republican House), or "DH" (Democrat House).

See:EXHIBIT 37, Motion of the Senate: First Chamber, Second Reading, page 214.EXHIBIT 38, Motion of the House: First Chamber, Second Reading, page 215.EXHIBIT 39, Motion of the Senate: Second Chamber, Second Reading, page 216.EXHIBIT 40, Motion of the House: Second Chamber, Second Reading, page 217.EXHIBIT 70, Motion of the Senate to Amend a Joint Resolution of the Senate,

Second Reading, page 285.EXHIBIT 71, Motion of the House to Amend a Joint Resolution of the House, Second Reading, page 286.

For drafting reminders concerning committee reports, amendments, and motions, see EXHIBIT 76,Checklist and Reminders to be Used in the Preparation of Amendments, Motions, andCommittee Reports, page 296.

Preliminary Draft as an Amendment to an Unknown Bill or "PD"

This is a document that can be used by a legislator during legislative session as a means by whichto prepare language for placement into one of several possible bills. It is similar to thePreliminary Draft ("PD") created early in the drafting process.

See EXHIBIT 41, PD as an Amendment to an Unknown Bill, page 218.

B. REFERENCE LINES

When preparing to amend a bill at any stage of the legislative process, the first thing the drafting attorneymust do is to note which version of the bill is to be amended, i.e., the introduced version, the first printing,or the engrossed printing. Always be sure to amend the latest printing of the bill. The amendment itselfmust contain a statement at the end of the document indicating which version of the bill is being amended. This statement (known as the "reference line") is one of the most important parts of a post-introductoryamendatory document. It signals to the reader which printing of the document is to be amended. Thereference line always ends with a period and is enclosed in parentheses.

(1) Introduced Version (First Chamber Committee Amendments)

If the introduced version of the bill is to be amended by a committee, a reference line must be inserted atthe end of the committee amendment or committee report as follows:

Page 118

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as introduced.)

Example: (Reference is to SB 100 as introduced.)

(2) First Printing (First Chamber Committee Amendments and Floor Amendments and SecondChamber Committee Amendments)

After an introduced bill is passed out of the first chamber committee and the committee report is adoptedon the floor, the bill is printed for the first time. The first printing of the bill may be amended on secondor third reading in the first house or chamber. If it was not amended in the first chamber, the bill can beamended by a committee of the second chamber and then printed engrossed.

(a) Second or Third Reading Floor Amendments

If the first printing is amended on second or third reading in the first chamber, the amendment mustcontain a reference line as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as printed _________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to HB 1003 as printed January 15, 2013.)

(b) Second Chamber Committee Amendments

No Floor Amendments

If the first printing of the bill is not amended on second or third reading in the first chamber and thebill is passed out of the first chamber, the committee of the second chamber will consider the lastprinted version. If the committee of the second chamber amends the bill, the amendment must containa reference line referring to the last printed version as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as printed __________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to SB 131 as printed January 10, 2013.)

(3) Reprinted First Printing (Committee of the Second Chamber Amendments)

A bill amended on second or third reading in the first chamber will be reprinted to incorporate theamendments. The reprinted version will be printed on yellow paper and will usually contain the nextbusiness day's date. If a reprinted bill is reassigned to a committee and if the second chamber committeeamends the reprinted bill, the amendment must contain a reference line as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as reprinted _________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to HB 1323 as reprinted February 15, 2013.)

Note: The House or Senate might request that a bill be printed with a specific date.

(a) Unincorporated Floor Amendments

If:

Page 119

(i) the first printing of the bill was amended on second or third reading;

(ii) the bill was passed out of the first chamber;

(iii) the second or third reading amendments are not incorporated into a reprinted version of the bill; and

(iv) a committee in the second chamber is to amend the bill;

the amendment must contain a reference line referring to the first printing and to the unincorporatedfirst chamber floor amendments as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as printed ___________, 20__,and as amended on motion of Senator [Representative] __________adopted ____________, 20__, and on motion of Senator[Representative] _________ adopted ____________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to HB 1310 as printed January 17, 2013, and asamended on motion of Representative Jones adopted January 25,2013, and on motion of Representative Abernathy adopted January29, 2013.)

(b) Unincorporated Committee of One Report

If there are unincorporated changes that are made in the committee report of a Committee of One, thereference line should read as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as printed ____________, 20__,and as amended by the committee report of the committee of oneadopted ___________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to SB 330 as printed January 17, 2013, and asamended by the committee report of the committee of one adopted January 20, 2013.)

(c) Unincorporated Technical Corrections

If there are unincorporated changes that are made by Senate Rule 35 or House Rule 67 technicalcorrections, the reference line should read as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to SB [HB] ____ as printed ____________, 20__,and as corrected under Senate Rule 35 [House Rule 67]___________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to HB 1434 as printed January 27, 2013, and ascorrected under House Rule 67 January 29, 2013.)

Note: Check the current House and Senate rules to ascertain that the Rule numbers provided aboveare correct.

Page 120

(4) Engrossed Printing (Committee of the Second Chamber Amendments)

After a bill is passed out of the second chamber committee and the committee report is adopted on thefloor, the bill is printed. This version of the bill is referred to as the engrossed printing. The engrossedprinting is referred to as an engrossed Senate bill (ESB) or an engrossed House bill (EHB).

(a) Second Reading Amendments and Third Reading Amendments

If the engrossed bill is amended on second reading or third reading in the second chamber, theamendment must contain a reference line as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to ESB [EHB] ____ as printed ___________,20__.)

Example: (Reference is to ESB 313 as printed March 5, 2013.)

(b) Incorporated Floor Amendments

If the engrossed bill is amended by the second chamber on second reading or third reading and the billis reprinted (on yellow paper) to incorporate those amendments, any further amendment of the bill(such as on third reading, by Joint Rule 20 motion, or by a conference committee) must contain areference line as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to ESB [EHB] ____ as reprinted __________,20__.)

Example: (Reference is to EHB 1178 as reprinted March 12, 2013.)

(c) Unincorporated Second Reading Floor Amendments

If the engrossed bill is amended by the second chamber on second reading and the bill is not reprintedto incorporate those amendments, any further amendment of the bill (such as on third reading or bya conference committee) must contain a reference line as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to ESB [EHB] ____ as printed ___________ ,20__, and as amended on motion of Representative [Senator] ____adopted ____________, 20__, and on motion of Representative[Senator] _____ adopted ___________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to ESB 323 as printed February 24, 2013, and asamended on motion of Representative Jones adopted February 26,2013, and on motion of Representative Abernathy adopted February28, 2013.)

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to ESB [EHB]____ as printed____, 20__, and asamended by the committee report of the Committee of Oneadopted_____, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to EHB 1514 as printed February 20, 2013, andas amended by the committee report of the Committee of One

Page 121

adopted February 25, 2013.)

(d) Unincorporated Technical Corrections

If there are unincorporated changes that are made by Senate Rule 35 or House Rule 67 technicalcorrections, the reference line must read as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to ESB [EHB] ____ as printed ____________,20__, and as corrected under House Rule 67 [Senate Rule 35]_________, 20__.)

Example: (Reference is to ESB 225 as printed March 1, 2013, and ascorrected under House Rule 67 March 5, 2013.)


C. DRAFTING TERMINOLOGY

After a bill is introduced, drafting most often involves the creation of "page and line" commands that areessentially a very specific set of instructions. These instructions usually set forth the page number and linenumber on which a particular addition or amendment will be made and are used by the legislative printingstaff, who must follow the instructions literally. It is very important to use the correct commandterminology and include beginning and ending quotation marks around text that is to be inserted,deleted, or otherwise altered.

Note: Any page and line commands drafted must reference the page and line numbers, and as well as anyreferenced SECTION numbers, as they appear in the printed bill to be amended. Do not reference the"new" or anticipated numbers.

(See AMENDMENT OF PROVISIONS NOT FOUND IN A PRINTED BILL, page 132, foradditional rules affecting bills in a committee of the second chamber.)

A summary of commonly used drafting commands may be found in EXHIBIT 80, Commonly UsedDrafting Commands, page 309.

For an example of the post-introductory amendment process, including a document mark-up created by thelegislative printing staff, see EXHIBIT 28, Post-Introductory Amendment Process Resulting in theFirst Printing of a Bill, page 201.

(1) Altering Lead-in Lines

To cause material to be removed, use "delete".

Example: Page 1, line 1, delete "AMENDED".

To cause material to be added, use "insert".

Example: Page 1, line 1, delete "AMENDED" and insert "ADDED".

Page 122

(2) Altering Nonamendatory SECTIONS of a Bill (i.e., changes in a SECTION of the bill addingentirely new material such as a new section, a new chapter, or the text of a Noncode SECTION)

To cause material to be removed from text, use "delete" .

Example: Page 1, line 6, delete "article".

To cause material to be added to the text, use "insert".

Example: Page 1, line 6, delete "article" and insert "chapter".

(3) Altering Amendatory SECTIONS of a Bill (i.e., changes in text of a SECTION of the bill thatamends a section of existing law)

To cause material in bold type to be removed from text, use "delete".

Example: Page 1, line 6, delete "article".

Note: All text being deleted should be shown in roman text, even if the text is bold in the bill tobe amended.

To cause material in roman type to appear in stricken type, use "strike".

Example: Page 1, line 7, strike "1979,".

To cause material to be added in bold type, use "insert".

Example: Page 2, line 7, after "director" insert "or deputy".

Example: Page 4, line 10, strike "agency" and insert "commission".

Example: Page 5, line 15, delete "district" and insert "authority".

In the examples above, note that the referencing text "director", "agency", and "district" is alwaysshown in roman text. Referencing text should not appear in bold, stricken, or italicized type in thebill to be amended.

To cause material in stricken type to be reset in roman type, use "reset in roman".

Example: Page 3, line 8, reset in roman "commissioner".

Note: Do not show the stricken material as stricken in the instruction to reset in roman.

(4) Adding New SECTIONS to a Bill

To add an amendatory Indiana Code provision, use "insert:" and show the SECTION as it shouldappear in the bill, showing all typefaces.

Example: Page 1, between the enacting clause and line 1, begin a new paragraph andinsert:

Page 123

"SECTION 1. IC 5-6-7-1 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec. 1. A person is authorized to may ... .".

To add a new Indiana Code provision or a Noncode provision, use "insert:" and show the SECTIONas it should appear in the bill, showing all typefaces.

Example: Page 6, between lines 21 and 22, begin a new paragraph and insert:"SECTION ... IC 5-6-7-10 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A

NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]: Sec.10. ... .".

IMPORTANT NOTES:

(a) Always check the Daily Action file and the Duplicate or Comprehensive Citation Report todetermine whether the bill being amended is in conflict with other legislation.

(b) Make certain that all Indiana Code sections and Noncode SECTIONS affected by the addition ofthe new SECTION are included in the bill.

(c) When adding or deleting SECTIONS in a bill, make certain that all succeeding SECTIONS,internal references, and sections in the bill are renumbered accordingly. Adding a "RENUMBERALL SECTIONS" command at the end of the bill will cause all SECTIONS to be renumbered. A quick search through the bill should uncover any internal references, section numbers, orSECTION numbers that need to be updated.

(d) Check the title of the bill being amended, and, if necessary, recommend a title amendment to themajority attorney of the chamber considering the bill.

(5) Altering the Entire Body of a Bill by Bill Stripping

For inserting an entirely new body of text into a bill, use the following language:

Sample Boilerplate: Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert thefollowing:

[Insert text exactly as it should appear in the bill.]

Note that the text that is inserted after this command does NOT begin and end with quotation marks.

Because the subject matter of the new material is often different from that in the original bill, determineif a title amendment is necessary.

Avoid "stripping" a bill if the amendment can be done by three or fewer page and line commands. If thedrafting attorney or legislator decides that bill stripping is the best approach, check the rules of eachchamber to determine its policy on bill stripping before proceeding.

If a conference committee inserts a totally new subject matter into a bill (material that has not previouslybeen passed by one of the chambers), the Senate rules require that the conference committee report bereferred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure. If that committee approves thereport, the bill is then placed on a special calendar for consideration.

Page 124

(6) Changing a Title

To amend an existing title or to add an entirely new title, say:

Sample Boilerplate: Delete the title and insert the following:A BILL FOR AN ACT . . .

Note that the text of a title amendment does NOT begin and end with quotation marks.

Avoid overly specific titles.

Don't Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT concerning the fire protection district tax of the townof Spring Grove.

Say: A BILL FOR AN ACT concerning local government.

(7) Use of Quotation Marks

Material to be inserted in a bill should be enclosed by quotation marks, except when a bill is stripped. Toinsert a paragraph, for instance, use the following:

Example: Page 8, between lines 9 and 10, begin a new paragraph and insert:"(b) As used in this section, "person" means an individual, a

corporation, or a partnership.".

(8) Renumbering SECTIONS of a Bill

To renumber the SECTIONS of a bill when a SECTION is added or removed, the drafting attorney shouldrenumber all the SECTIONS of the bill by adding a renumbering command as the last command in thedocument as follows:

Sample Boilerplate: Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.

Whenever SECTIONS are renumbered, carefully check for any internal references to those SECTIONSthat should be changed.

(9) Emergency Clause

If an amendatory document adds a SECTION with an effective date that requires an emergency clause orchanges an existing effective date to an effective date that requires an emergency clause:

(a) be sure that the bill already contains an emergency clause; or

(b) add an emergency clause to the bill.

Likewise, if an amendatory document removes a SECTION with an effective date that requires anemergency clause or changes an existing effective date that requires an emergency clause to an effectivedate that does NOT require an emergency clause, and no other SECTION in the bill requires an emergencyclause, be sure to remove the emergency clause from the bill. (See Early Effective Dates, page 102.)

Page 125

(10) Changing Effective Dates in One or More SECTIONS

To change an effective date in a SECTION, the drafting attorney can use individual page and linereferences, or the drafting attorney can change several consecutive SECTIONS of the bill at once.Remember that changing effective dates may require addition of a Noncode SECTION declaring anemergency. (See Early Effective Dates, page 102.)

(a) Replacing Effective Dates in Several SECTIONS

Consider the following as an example: A bill contains 15 SECTIONS and SECTION 3 has beenremoved. To change the effective date in the SECTIONS after SECTION 3 in the original bill, usethe following form:

Example: Replace the effective dates in SECTIONS 4 through 15 with "[EFFECTIVEJULY 1, 2013]".

Note: When this command is used, it must be the first command in the document, except for a titleamendment. Note also that when this command is used, the references to the SECTIONS in thebill are the SECTIONS that appear in the printed bill being amended.

(b) Replacing an Effective Date in Only One SECTION

Example: Page 3, line 16, delete "[EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2013]" and insert"[EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2013]".

Example: Replace the effective date in SECTION 3 with "[EFFECTIVE JANUARY1, 2013]".

Note: When the latter command is used, it must be the first command in the document, except fora title amendment. Note also that when this command is used, the reference to the SECTION inthe bill is the SECTION that appears in the printed bill being amended.

(11) Miscellaneous Drafting Commands

(a) To delete new material from or strike material in part of a line:

Don't Say: Page 1, line 6, after "an" delete [strike] the rest of the line.

Say: Page 1, line 6, delete [strike] "individual who wishes to ride the".

(b) To delete or strike an entire line, say:

Example: Page 1, delete [strike] line 6.

(c) To delete or strike two or more consecutive lines, say:

Example: Page 2, delete [strike] lines 1 through 2.

(d) To delete one entire page, say:

Page 126

Example: Delete page 2.

(e) To delete two or more entire pages, say:

Example: Delete pages 2 through 5.

(f) To add a new subsection or other paragraph indented text, say:

Example: Page 3, between lines 6 and 7, begin a new paragraph and insert:"(b) A house trailer may be taxed once a year.".

(g) To add a new subdivision or other block indented text, say:

Example: Page 4, line 6, after "section." begin a new line block indented and insert:"(3) Water pollution.".

(h) To add a new clause of other double block indented text, say:

Example: Page 5, line 10, after "year." begin a new line double block indented andinsert:

"(C) A license must be renewed each year.".

(i) To add a new item or other triple block indented text, say:

Example: Page 7, line 14, after "chapter." begin a new line triple block indented andinsert:

"(iii) A finder's fee.".

(j) To have a line return to the left margin, say:

Example: Page 5, line 6, beginning with "commits" begin a new line blocked left.

Note: Be sure to determine whether to include a "begin a new line" command after adding tabulationin the middle of existing text.

(k) To begin a new line at the left margin, say:

Example: Page 10, line 5, begin a new line blocked left and insert:"must renew the license each year.".

(l) To have two lines run together that are separated by some type of indentation, say:

Example: Page 1, run in lines 20 through 21.Page 5, run in line 42 through page 6, line 1.

(m) To have two lines run together after an intervening line has been deleted, say:

Example: Page 2, run in lines 30 through 32.

(n) To run in two lines when changing tabulation:

Page 127

A "run in" command is necessary only if the indentation is to be changed, such as when twosubdivisions are removed from a list of three. In that instance, any text after the remainingsubdivision would be left standing alone unless a command is added to run it together.

A run in command should be placed after the commands that amend the lines to which the run incommand applies.

Example: Page 1, line 2, strike "(1) reading;".

12345

A teacher shall teach:(1) reading; (2) writing; and (3) social science.

Each student shall complete this instruction.

Striking subdivision (1) does not require the indentation levels to be changed for subdivisions(2) and (3)—it requires only that the remaining subdivisions be renumbered and that thepunctuation be changed accordingly.

Striking two subdivisions does require a change in indentation for the blocked left "skills tostudents", and so a run in command is needed.

12345

A teacher shall teach:(1) reading; (2) writing; and (3) social science.

Each student shall complete this instruction.

Page 1, line 1, delete "teach:" and insert "teach".Page 1, strike lines 2 through 3.Page 1, line 4, strike "(3)".Page 1, run in lines 1 through 5.

After the bill has passed, the resulting text will look like this:

1 A teacher shall teach social science. Each student shall complete thisinstruction.

(o) To delete or strike a single word, phrase, or punctuation mark that appears more than oncein a line, the command must identify which occurrence of the word, phrase, or punctuationmark is to be deleted or stricken.

If page 4, line 15, reads as follows: "Sec. 1. Before July 1 of each year" and you wish to change July1 to July 31,

Don't Say: Page 4, line 15, delete [strike] "1" and insert "31".

Say: Page 4, line 15, delete [strike] "July 1" and insert "July 31".

Page 128

OR

Page 4, line 15, after "July" delete [strike] "1" and insert "31".

(p) To add indentation or tabulation to text:

Example:

1234

The applicant must submit an affidavit that the applicant has completed thetraining required under section 3 of this chapter and pay the annual feeprescribed by the department before the department may issue a license to theapplicant.

To insert indentation or tabulation in the above text, use the following commands:

Page 1, line 1, after "must" insert ":(1)".

Page 1, line 2, after "chapter" insert ";".Page 1, line 2, after "and" insert:

"(2)".Page 1, line 3, after "by the department" insert ";".Page 1, line 3, beginning with "before" begin a new line blocked left.

The resulting text will look like this:

12345

The applicant must:(1) submit an affidavit that the applicant has completed the trainingrequired under section 3 of this chapter; and(2) pay the annual fee prescribed by the department;

before the department may issue a license to the applicant.

To insert additional indentation or tabulation in the above text, use the following commands:

Page 1, line 2, after "completed" insert ":(A)".

Page 1, between lines 3 and 4, begin a new line double block indented and insert:

"(B) nine (9) hours of community service approved by thecommissioner; and".

The resulting text will look like this:

Page 129

1234567

The applicant must:(1) submit an affidavit that the applicant has completed:

(A) the training required under section 3 of this chapter; and(B) nine (9) hours of community service approved by thecommissioner; and

(2) pay the annual fee prescribed by the department;before the department may issue a license to the applicant.

(q) To undo tabulation:

The example below shows how to remove existing tabulation and amendment from a provision.

Example:

1234567

(c) If the employer has rejected the notification:(1) subsection (b) does not apply to the new employee; and(2) the employee must promptly notify:

(A) the fire chief or other officer in charge of the fire department; or(B) the officer in charge of the emergency medical services

association;of the rejection of the notice.

Page 1, line 1, delete ":" and insert ",".Page 1, line 2, strike "(1)".Page 1, line 2, delete "new".Page 1, line 2, delete ";" and insert ",".Page 1, line 3, strike "(2)".Page 1, line 3, delete ":".Page 1, strike line 4.Page 1, line 5, strike "(B)". Page 1, line 6, delete ";".Page 1, run in lines 1 through 7.

After the bill has passed, the resulting text will look like this:

123

If the employer has rejected the notification, subsection (b) does not apply to theemployee, and the employee must promptly notify the officer in charge of theemergency medical services association of the rejection of the notice.

(12) Drafting Command Reminders and Notes

When amending an Indiana Code provision or Noncode provision, you may either:

(a) amend by using page and line commands; or

(b) amend by deleting the entire SECTION from the bill and reinserting that SECTION with thenecessary changes included.

Do not delete part of a SECTION. However, if deleting an entire SECTION will result in a very

Page 130

lengthy amendatory document, talk with an attorney in the Office of Code Revision to determinewhether it will be acceptable to delete only a subsection or subsections. Do not delete less than anentire subsection in any case.

Avoid the term "before" in an amendatory command whenever possible.

The computer program searches text, and inserts commands, from back to front. Requiring theprogram to make changes "before" a word can cause the program to fail.

Example:

1234


Don't Say: Page 1, line 1, before "completed" insert "fully".

Say: Page 1, line 1, after "has" insert "fully".

Do not use a drafting command based on a single word, phrase or punctuation mark that appearsmore than one time in a line of text. Doing so will create an ambiguity as to which word, phrase, orpunctuation mark is referenced.

Example:

1234


In the paragraph above, line 3 contains three instances of the word "the". To change the first occurrenceof "department" to "state department":

Don't Say: Page 1, line 3, after "the" insert "state".

Say: Page 1, line 3, after "by the" insert "state".

Do not delete, rather than strike, roman text (i.e., current law) unless:

1. the text is in a lead-in line;

2. the text is being deleted in the course of deleting an entire SECTION; or

3. the text is deleted and re-inserted in order to remove or change punctuation or to change thefirst letter of a word from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa.

Make sure to amend the latest version of the printed bill.

Page 131

Make sure that every command ends with a period and that the period is outside any quotationmarks used at the end of the command.

Make sure to determine whether the amendments made or effective dates changed require theaddition or deletion of an emergency clause.

Make sure to check the Daily Action files for errors or technical corrections that should also beaddressed by the amendment.

D. AMENDMENT OF PROVISIONS NOT FOUND IN A PRINTED BILL (SECOND CHAMBERCOMMITTEE AMENDMENTS); TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS

Use the following techniques in preparing a committee amendment in the second chamber that affects flooramendments or technical corrections made earlier but not incorporated into the latest printed version of the bill.If an unincorporated amendment or correction is to be deleted entirely, begin the committee amendment bydeleting the unincorporated amendment or correction. Also review the discussion on reference lines. (SeeREFERENCE LINES, page 118.)

(1) Deleting a Second Reading Amendment

To delete a second reading amendment in its entirety:

Sample Boilerplate: Delete the amendment made on motion of Senator[Representative] ________ adopted _________, 20__.

Example: Delete the amendment made on motion of RepresentativeAbernathy adopted February 1, 2013.

(2) Technical Corrections

To delete a technical correction in its entirety:

Sample Boilerplate: Delete the technical correction made under Senate Rule 35[House Rule 67] __________, 20__.

Example: Delete the technical correction made under House Rule 67March 22, 2013.


E. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS

(1) The Two Alternative Forms

A conference committee report (also known as a "CC" or "CCR") is created to resolve conflicts whenchanges are made to a bill in the second chamber and those changes are not concurred to by the originalchamber. A conference committee report may take either of two forms: the "delete everything" form or

Page 132

the "page and line command" form.

(a) The "Delete Everything" Form

In the "delete everything" form, the conference committee report deletes the entire body of the bill andinserts new content in its entirety (which may in fact be only a slightly different, revised version of thebill's former contents). This form is used when more than three page and line commands would benecessary to make the proposed changes to the bill.

A conference committee report in this form contains the following command:


After this command, the conference committee report sets forth the proposed new content of the bill.

Note: The proposed new content of the bill is not enclosed in quotation marks.

See:EXHIBIT 44, Conference Committee Report, Senate Version, Senate Bill, Delete

Everything Format, page 226.EXHIBIT 45, Conference Committee Report, House Version, Senate Bill, Delete

Everything Format, page 229.

Note that in the Exhibits related to conference committee reports, the salutation in the House versionof the conference committee report ("MR. SPEAKER") does not match the salutation in the Senateversion ("MADAM PRESIDENT"). The salutation used during a particular legislative session dependson the gender of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate.

(b) The "Page and Line Command" Form

A conference committee report in the "page and line command" form does not replace the entire bodyof the bill. Instead, it alters the contents of the latest printed version of the bill through page and linecommands. A conference committee report may not be drafted in this style unless it contains no morethan three page and line commands.

Example: Page 1, line 3, strike "department" and insert "bureau".Page 5, line 25, delete "or the director".Page 14, delete lines 6 through 18.

See:EXHIBIT 42, Conference Committee Report, House Version, House Bill, Page and Line

Command Format, page 220.EXHIBIT 43, Conference Committee Report, Senate Version, House Bill, Page and Line

Command Format, page 223.

(2) Steps of Conference Committee Report Preparation

Follow these steps when drafting a conference committee report:

Page 133

(a) Examine the Daily Action file to determine whether any unincorporated amendments have beenadopted since the latest printing of the engrossed bill. Any unincorporated amendment will haveto be recognized in the reference line of the conference committee report. The report must includea command deleting the unincorporated amendments. If the author of the conference committeereport so wishes, the report may reinsert the content of the unincorporated amendments back intothe bill.

(b) No matter whether the conference committee report will be in the "delete everything" form or in"page and line command" form, determine whether a title amendment is needed. If so, add thetitle amendment to the conference committee report.

(c) If the conference committee report will be in the "delete everything" form, insert the "deleteeverything" command and immediately after it insert the new content of the bill as proposed byone of the conferees of the conference committee report. Do not enclose the new content withinquotation marks. Insert whole SECTIONS, including stricken and bold text, just as in a bill.

(d) If the conference committee report will be in "page and line command" form, the changes that theauthor of the conference committee report proposes to be made in the bill must be made usingthree or fewer page and line amendments to the latest printing of the bill. These amendmentsmight include unincorporated amendments, language from other bills, or entirely new material.

(e) End the conference committee report with a comprehensive reference line that recognizes thelatest printing of the bill and any unincorporated amendments adopted since the latest printing.

(f) If a conference committee report on a bill other than an appropriation bill "contains subject matternot previously passed by at least one house", the drafting attorney must notify the Senate MajorityAttorney of that fact. (See Senate Rule 86(e). Note: Check the current Senate rules to ascertainthat the Rule number provided is correct.)

(g) Check the Daily Action file, and, if appropriate, correct any problems that are noted there.

(h) Check the Duplicate or Comprehensive Citation Report to determine if any SECTIONS of thebill—as it would be amended by the conference committee report—would conflict with the sameIndiana Code provisions amended in other bills. If a conflict exists, notify the Office of CodeRevision before proceeding.

(i) Update the digest as appropriate.

(3) Conference Committee Reports if there are Unincorporated Third Reading Amendments

When a conference committee report is prepared for a bill with an unincorporated third readingamendment, use this form as the first command:

Sample Boilerplate: Delete the amendment made by the committee report for thecommittee of one adopted ________, 20__.

Example: Delete the amendment made by the committee report for thecommittee of one adopted February 27, 2013.

The second command, if the conference committee report is in the "delete everything" form, should be the

Page 134

following:


Use the following reference line:

Sample Boilerplate: (Reference is to EHB [ESB] ____as reprinted __________,20__, and as amended by the committee report of the committee ofone adopted __________, 20____.)

Example: (Reference is to EHB 1613 as reprinted February 15, 2013, andas amended by the committee report of the committee of oneadopted February 27, 2013.)

F. ALTERING PROVISIONS ADDED OR AMENDED EARLIER IN THE SAME SESSION

(1) Introduction

If a section of the Indiana Code is added or amended, the lead-in line and text for a later amendment to thatsection during the same session must reflect the prior addition or amendment. A reference to the prioramendment should be to the bill number and the year of the session in which it was enacted, separated bya hyphen. Bills enacted in a special session should also parenthetically reference the special session.

(2) Lead-in Line

Amendment of Section Previously Amended

Example: SECTION ___. IC 5-10-3-34, AS AMENDED BY SEA [HEA] 23-2013, ISAMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

Amendment of Section Previously Added

Example: SECTION ___. IC 5-10-3-34, AS ADDED BY SEA [HEA] 23-2013, ISAMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:

(3) Text (Amendments Only)

The text set forth must be the latest version of the bill with all stricken type deleted and all bold typeinserted in roman. The new changes to be made by the later amendment should then be set forth in strickenor bold type.

(4) Effective Date

The later addition or amendment should be drafted so that it will not take effect before the prior additionor amendment.

Page 135

G. JOINT RULE 20 CORRECTIONS

(1) Introduction

During each legislative session, hundreds of sections of the Indiana Code are altered in different ways bytwo or more bills, resulting in technical conflicts. The joint rules of the House and Senate contain amechanism for making last-minute corrections to bills for the purpose of avoiding technical conflicts.Under Joint Rule 20 (also known as "JR 20"), a technical conflict exists when any of the followingsituations occurs:

(a) If two bills amending the same section of the Indiana Code are approved in the same session ofthe General Assembly and neither bill recognizes the existence of the other.

(b) If two bills each add a new provision to the Indiana Code at the same Indiana Code citationwithout either bill recognizing the addition made by the other and both bills are approved in thesame session of the General Assembly.

(2) Committee Action

In any of the above situations, Joint Rule 20 provides that one of the two bills may be corrected beforeenrollment to recognize the existence of the other. The correction must be approved by both the Committeeon Rules and Legislative Procedures of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Rules andLegislative Procedure of the Senate. However, a correction under the rule is limited to the extent necessaryto resolve the technical conflict and may not be made unless the report of each of the two committeesincludes the written consent of the respective committee's ranking minority member. In addition, thecommittee report in each chamber must include the written consent of the corrected bill's author or sponsor,as the case may be. A technical conflict is one that does not change the substance of either bill. It is at thediscretion of both the Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedures of the House of Representatives andthe Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure of the Senate as to whether a conflict is technical.

(3) Preparation

The Office of Code Revision consults the authors, sponsors, Office of Bill Drafting and Research, caucusattorneys, the Daily Action files, and the duplicate citation report regarding all technical conflict situations.A Joint Rule 20 correction should be prepared only after agreement has been reached that there is no otherway to resolve a technical conflict. Follow these steps when drafting a Joint Rule 20 correction:

(a) Determine the simplest, most direct, and most easily understood way to resolve the technicalconflict. Avoid methods that will require extensive changes to the text of one of the bills. Alsoavoid making changes that might appear to substantively affect one of the bills.

(b) Use page and line reference amendments to the latest printing of the bill being corrected. Theseamendments might also need to include changes to unincorporated amendments, earlier technicalcorrections, or conference committee reports.

(c) Recheck the duplicate citation report to be certain that no new technical conflicts will be createdby resolving an existing conflict.

(d) Notify the staff of the chamber of origin that a Joint Rule 20 correction needs to be made to thebill before enrollment.

Chapter 8. Post-Session Issues

A. CONFLICTING ENROLLED ACTS

If two or more acts amend the same section in different ways, add different provisions to the same IndianaCode citation, or amend and repeal the same Indiana Code citation and do not recognize the existence ofthe other act or acts, a technical conflict is created. When confronted with this situation, courts generallytry to give effect to all versions of the law. The general rule is that if all versions cannot be given effect,the version last passed prevails.

B. TECHNICAL SESSION

The House of Representatives and Senate may, by passing a Concurrent Resolution, assign a day to bringthe General Assembly into a Technical Session for the purpose of correcting technical errors. (SeeIC 2-2.1-1-2.5.) As of 2012, this has never happened.

Do not assume that a bill is ready for introduction because it was introduced in a prior legislative session. Thefact that a bill was introduced and not passed could mean that it was rejected due to flaws in the draft. Rememberthat a "revival" deserves as much thoughtful analysis and attention to detail as a "new" bill request. Think of a"revival" as a good starting point, not as a completed project that needs to be logged in.

Always do the following before logging in a "revival":

1. Check each Indiana Code section in the bill to make sure it has not been added, amended or repealedsince the bill was drafted.

2. Check all internal references in the bill to make sure the provisions to which they refer haven't beenamended or repealed since the bill was drafted.

3. Make sure that the placement of each Indiana Code section added by the bill is correct. If a newchapter, section, etc., is being added by the bill, be sure that a chapter, section, etc., has not alreadybeen added at the same Code location.

4. Revise all effective dates and make sure an effective date appears in brackets in each lead-in line.Double check to make sure there is an emergency clause at the end of the document if an emergencyclause is needed. An emergency clause will be needed if any SECTION in the bill takes effect uponpassage, retroactively, or before June 30 of the year of enactment.

5. Read through the "revival" to be sure it makes sense.

6. Correct technical errors in compliance with the Drafting Manual.

7. If the bill can be improved, inform the legislator of this fact before making the improvements so thathe or she is not "blind-sided". Usually, legislators are pleased to have improvements made to"revivals".

8. Remember that the effective date "[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 20__]" should appear in the lead-in line forSECTIONS that are to take effect on the standard effective date.

Page 291 EXHIBIT 73, Checklist to be Used in the Preparation of "Revivals"

Before amending a Noncode provision enacted in 2001 or earlier, to make sure that the provision has not beenpreviously amended, check the following:

1. The Session Law Disposition Table in Volume 13 of the 1998 Edition of the Indiana Code.

2. The Session Law Disposition Table in Volume 3 of the 2001 Supplement to the Indiana Code.

3. The Table of Citations Affected in Volume 1 of the 2004 Edition of the Indiana Code, the 2005Replacement Volume for Titles 1 to 3 of the Indiana Code, and each supplement to the IndianaCode after 2001.

Before amending a Noncode provision enacted in 2002 or later, the drafter should check the Table of CitationsAffected in the Indiana Code and Indiana Code Supplement for each year after the year of enactment to makesure the provision has not been previously amended.

Legislative Services Agency attorneys should check their work using Folio to ascertain that the latest versionof the Noncode provision being amended is being used.

Repealer Information for Indiana Code Provisions

1. Drafting a Repealer for a Section in Conflict

(a) To repeal a section in conflict that appears in the Technical Corrections bill, use the versionof the corrected section that appears in the drafters data base, change any bold text or italic textto roman, and strike the text, identifying the Technical Corrections bill's HEA, SEA, or P.L.number and SECTION in the lead-in line. In the example below, the Technical Corrections billis designated as "P.L.1-2013".

Example: SECTION 3. IC 1-2-3-4, AS AMENDED BY P.L.1-2013, SECTION 1, ISREPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec. 4. The authority may...

(b) To repeal a section in conflict that DOES NOT appear in the Technical Corrections bill,include each version of the section and strike the text, identifying the version being repealed inthe lead-in line.

Example: SECTION 1. IC 5-10.2-4-6, AS AMENDED BY P.L.124-2008, SECTION2, IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec. 6. (a) A member whobecomes disabled while receiving a salary or employer provided incomeprotection benefits or who is on leave under the Family and Medical Leave Actmay retire for the duration of the member's disability if...

SECTION 2. IC 5-10.2-4-6, AS AMENDED BY P.L.131-2008, SECTION1, IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec. 6.

Page 293 EXHIBIT 75, Drafting Repealers Under Special Circumstances See also "REPEALERS", page 85.

(b) To repeal a section that has a delayed effective date, and the effective date of the repealeris on or after the delayed effective date, include the section's text in stricken type. Note that inthis situation, the version currently in effect is not printed because that version will be supersededby the delayed effective date version when the repealer takes effect. The lead-in line should notcontain "AS AMENDED BY P.L...." or "AS ADDED BY P.L....". If the effective date of therepealer is ON the delayed effective date, add a Noncode SECTION stating the general assembly'sintention to repeal the section. (See Resolving Repealer Conflicts, page 89.)

Example: SECTION 3. IC 1-2-3-4 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec.4. The authority shall...

(c) To repeal a section that has a delayed effective date, and the effective date of the repealeris before the delayed effective date, include both the version currently in effect and the delayedeffective date version. The effective date of the repealer must be the same in both versions. Inthe example below, the first section is currently in effect, and the second section is not yet ineffect. The lead-in line for both versions must contain "AS AMENDED BY P.L...." or "ASADDED BY P.L....".

Example: SECTION 7. IC 6-1.1-3-6, AS AMENDED BY P.L.67-2009, SECTION 12,IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]. Sec. 6. The authority shall...

Follow this procedure and include in the bill all versions in the following situations:

1. To repeal a section with conflicting versions currently in effect but also with adelayed effective date version, and the effective date of the repealer is before thedelayed effective date.

2. To repeal a provision currently in effect but also with delayed effective date versionsthat are in conflict, and the effective date of the repealer is before the delayedeffective date.

3. Negating the Effect of a Delayed Effective Date Repealer

To negate the effect of a delayed effective date repealer, repeal the SECTION in the bill or P.L.containing the repealer and include the stricken text. The effective date of the repealer may notbe a delayed effective date. Notify the Office of Code Revision concerning the repealer's negation.

A repealer cannot be retroactively repealed. The law must be reenacted at a differentIndiana Code cite.

Example: SECTION 34. P.L.217-2011, SECTION 2, IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVEUPON PASSAGE]. SECTION 2. IC 5-10.2-4-6 IS REPEALED [EFFECTIVEJULY 1, 2014]. Sec. 6. (a) A member who becomes disabled while receiving asalary or employer provided income protection benefits or who is on leave underthe Family and Medical Leave Act may retire for the duration of the member'sdisability if...

Here are some reminders that, if followed, will result in quality documents that can be processed quickly andsmoothly. Remember that attention to detail is very important when preparing amendments, motions, andcommittee reports.

1. Use the latest version of the bill. Legislators will often ask for a second reading amendment right after acommittee meeting. You need to wait until the committee report is adopted and a new version of the bill isprinted before drafting the second reading amendment.

2. Give the Office of Code Revision ("OCR") the true time a document is needed. This is very important. OCRconstantly reorders the work flow based upon deadlines. Don't put your fellow drafters at a disadvantageby requesting work earlier than is necessary.

3. If your document is a CLONE of another document or is BASED ON another document, contact OCR whenthe document is logged. This will save a lot of time and avoid duplication of work at several stages of reviewand document processing. It can also help avoid creation of differing versions for two documents thatshould be the same.

4. Remember to place STRICKEN TEXT BEFORE BOLD TEXT.

Don't Say: before July August 1 of each year

Say: before August July 1 of each year

5. Don't delete text that appears in existing law (i.e., roman text). Use the strike command only.

6. Don't delete and reinsert in roman any text that appears in existing law. (There are exceptions--whenchanging the first letter in a word from upper case to lower case or vice versa and when adding orremoving punctuation.)

7. Show proper indentation and designation.

8. Make sure that a period appears at the end of each sentence and at the end of each command.

9. Punctuation should appear in the SAME TYPEFACE as the preceding word. Resetting a stricken wordmay require the punctuation to be reset also, including adding back punctuation that the bill may havedeleted.

10. CHECK THE DAILY ACTION FILE for legal and technical problems in the bill you are amending. Tryto resolve these problems in your amendment or committee report.

11. CHECK THE DAILY ACTION FILE for unincorporated amendments. Remember to reference allunincorporated amendments in the reference line. An unincorporated amendment is an amendment thathas been adopted, but has not been included in the latest printing of a bill.

12. Check to see if a title amendment is needed.

13. Quotation marks go at the beginning and end of material added to or deleted from a bill. (The only

SLAWYER

Typewritten Text

Page 296 EXHIBIT 76, Checklist and Reminders to be Used in the Preparation of Amendments, Motions, and Committee Reports See also "Post-Introductory Drafting", page 117.

exceptions are title amendments and "delete everything" commands, which do not use quotation marks. Also note that title amendments and "delete everything" commands are the only commands that shouldcontain the phrase "insert the following:".)

14. When inserting a new line of text with indentation or changing the indentation, show the text with theappropriate indentation (i.e., blocked left, paragraph, block indented, double block indented, or triple blockindented).

For example:

Page 3, between lines 8 and 9, begin a new line block indented and insert: "(3) Other vector abatement programs.".

Note that in this example, the indented text is preceded by "insert:".

15. When inserting new text in a line without changing the indentation, merely insert the text without using"the following:" or a colon.

For example:

Page 4, line 2, after "rat" insert "day".

16. When inserting bold text in a line and also bold indentation immediately following, insert without using"the following:" or a colon, but do show the proper indentation.

For example:

Page 6, line 7, after "day" insert "explaining the importance of destroying: (1) rats; and (2) mice.".

17. When adding or deleting SECTIONS in a bill, remember to check the effective dates for possible revisionand renumber the SECTIONS. The "Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively" command should appearimmediately before the reference line.

18. Make sure that the bill being amended has an emergency clause at the end if any SECTION of the bill willtake effect before June 30, 20__ (for a bill introduced during the long session) or before May 15, 20__ (fora bill introduced during the short session).

19. Make sure each SECTION in the bill (other than the emergency clause SECTION) has a specific effectivedate.

Many problems and delays in the processing of documents are caused by errors and omissions in thedocuments. The most common problems include:

1. a missing reference line or missing [TAB] before the reference line;

2. no tab sets at the beginning of the text in a motion, amendment, or committee report;

SLAWYER

3. more than one source box or the wrong source box;

4. logging a document as a CR (committee report) when it should be an AM (amendment ) or an AM(amendment) when it should be a CR (committee report);

5. logging a document for the wrong chamber (i.e., logging a document for the senate that should be for thehouse);

6. too many 00's in a document name; and

7. logging a document under the wrong bill number.

Folio Views (also referred to as "Folio/NXT") is an application that aids in searching the Indiana Code,Noncode, Indiana Constitution, past and current legislative documents, and other similar resources. Folio'sIndiana Code and Noncode contents are updated during the interim after a legislative session, and both publicand private legislative documents are updated throughout session.

By using the Folio application, we can:

1. make sure that a bill adding a new section is not adding a section that already exists in the Indiana Code;

2. make sure that a reference to a title, article, chapter, or section is accurate; and

3. search for terms and phrases, as well as citations, in the Indiana Code.

To Search for a Term, Phrase, or Citation in the Indiana Code:

1. Open the Folio application.

2. When the list of available data bases appears, click on "Indiana Code".

3. Open the "Search" tab located at the bottom left corner of the Folio window. Open the search windowby clicking on the binoculars icon in the lower left corner of the screen or by pressing the F2 key.

4. In the "Advanced Query" box that opens, enter the term, phrase, or Indiana Code cite you are lookingfor. Use quotation marks around any words or phrases that should be grouped together. Use a hyphenbetween each number in an Indiana Code cite.

As you enter the Indiana Code cite number, term, or phrase, the Advanced Query box will show howmany times the referenced query appears in the entire Indiana Code. If the referenced query does notoccur at all, a result of "0" instances will appear.

5. To look at the results found through the search, click "OK' or tap the "return" key. This will bring upthe first "hit" that was found. Each hit will be highlighted in blue.

To see the next hit, click the "next hit" button on the button bar.

To see the previous hit, click the "previous hit" button.

The same search process can be performed in other searchable data bases available in Folio. Simply clickon the title or type of document to be searched, and follow steps 3 through 5.

Sample Basic Search Commands

The search commands below allow for more sophisticated searches and more direct results. Note thevariations in use of punctuation and conjunctions to receive different results.

Searching the Entire Indiana Code

1. To search for sections that contain a specific word, simply type in the word. The resulting hitswill show all instances of the word.

Example: health

2. To search for sections that contain two or more specific words, type in the words. The resultinghits will show all instances of the words appearing in the same section but not necessarily next toeach other.

Example: health department

3. To search for sections that contain two or more specific words together, type in the words anduse quotation marks. The resulting hits will show all instances of the words appearing next to eachother in the same section.

Example: "health department"

4. To search for sections that contain either one specific word or another specific word, includethe word "or". The resulting hits will show all sections containing either one word or the other, butnot both.

Example: health or department

5. To search for sections that contain one specific word but do not contain another specific word,include the "^" character. The resulting hits will show all sections containing one word but not theother.

Example: health ^ department

6. To search for all forms of a particular word, include an asterisk.

Example: health*

The search command "health*" will return hits such as the following: health, healthcare,healthful, healthy, etc.

7. To search for all instances of particular Indiana Code cite, type in the cite. It is not necessaryto include "IC'.

Example: 5-14-6-1

Searching a Particular Title, Article, Chapter, or Section of the Indiana Code

There are two ways to search in a particular title, article, chapter, or section of the Indiana Code. Thefirst requires the use of the "[group]" function, and the commands outlined above can be used with thisfunction to further narrow a search. The "[group]" function permits searches of the Indiana Code titles,articles, and chapter, but it does not permit a search at the section level. The second way makes use ofFolio's "Browse" tab, which permits searches of selected Indiana Code titles, articles, chapter, andsections.

Searching by Use of the "[group]" Function

The "[group]" function is available when the Folio "Search" tab is activated. As noted above, the"[group]" function permits searches within Indiana Code titles, articles, and chapters but does not permitsearches within Indiana Code sections. To find a search term within a section while using the '[group]"function, search the chapter and scroll to the section or use the "next hit" button to skip to results in thesection.

1. To search for a specific word or Indiana Code cite in a particular title, use the function"[group]" with the title number and term to be located.

Example: [group 16] health

The search command "[group 16] health" will return all instances of the word "health" in Title16.

2. To search for a specific word or Indiana Code cite in a particular article, use the function"[group]" with the title and article number and the term to be located.

Example: [group 16-28] 5-14-6

The search command "[group 16] 5-14-6" will return all instances of the cite "IC 5-14-6" inIC 16-28.

3. To search for a specific word or Indiana Code cite in a particular chapter, use the function"[group]" with the title, article, and chapter number and the term to be located.

Example: [group 16-28-2] "health department"

The search command "[group 16-28-2] "health department"" will return all instances of the term"health department" in IC 16-28-2.

Searching by Use of Folio's "Browse" Tab

The Folio "Browse" tab permits a search of particular Indiana Code titles, articles, chapter, and sectionsthat you select by using the drop down checkbox list on the left side of the Folio window. This searchis best suited for searching for a particular word or phrase within a particular area of the Indiana Code.

1. Click the "Browse" tab to view the drop down checkbox list.

2. Check the Indiana Code cites or cites you want to search. You can select any or all titles, articles,chapters, and sections, or you can limit the search to a single section. Clicking on the "+" symbolwill expand titles, articles, and chapters in the checkbox list, allowing individual articles,chapters, or sections to be selected.

3. Follow the general Folio search directions outlined above (i.e. "Open the search window byclicking on the binoculars icon in the lower left corner of the screen or by pressing the F2 key...").

Felonies and misdemeanors are crimes (IC 35-31.5-2-75(a)). The difference between a crime and a civil matter, such as an infraction or ordinanceviolation, is that committing a crime is punishable by incarceration. Incarceration may not be imposed for an infraction or ordinance violation. See IC 34-28-5-4 (infractions) and IC 36-1-3-8(a)(9) (ordinances).

1. The numbers in parentheses are advisory sentences. IC 35-50-2-1.3 provides that an advisory sentence means a guideline sentence that the court mayconsider as the midpoint between the maximum and minimum sentence. 2. The only Class C felony that is eligible for reduction to a Class D felony is nonsupport of a child under IC 35-46-1-5. 3. Certain crimes are not eligible for reduction to Class A misdemeanor. A prosecuting attorney may petition for a Class D felony reduced to a Class Amisdemeanor to be converted back to a Class D felony if the person whose sentence was reduced is convicted of a felony within five years after the reduction. 4. IC 35-50-5-2 provides for an alternative fine equal to twice the offender's pecuniary gain or twice the pecuniary loss of the victim. IC 13-30-10 authorizesa court to impose fines of at least $5,000 and not more than $50,000 for each day of violation upon conviction for certain environmental crimes; repeatenvironmental offenders may be fined up to $100,000 per day of violation. 5. Miscellaneous other statutes provide various sanctions in specific cases, including driver's license suspension (e.g., IC 9-30-5-10; IC 9-30-13), trebledamages (IC 34-24-3), forfeiture (IC 34-24-1 and IC 34-24-2), home improvement fraud (IC 35-43-6-13), disenfranchisement (IC 35-50-5-1.1), restitution(IC 35-50-5-3), and lifetime parole (IC 35-50-6-1(e)). In addition, persons convicted of certain sex and violent offenses may be required to register as a sexor violent offender (IC 11-8-8-5). 6. The maximum civil judgment for violations of certain ordinances concerning air emissions is $10,000. The maximum civil judgment for a second orsubsequent violation of an ordinance is not more than $7,500.
